Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root verb דִּין (din), which means "to judge" or "to contend."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G5016, which is ταραχή (tarachē), meaning "disturbance" or "commotion." This Greek term similarly conveys the idea of disorder or conflict, aligning with the Hebrew concept of מְדָן as a state of contention or quarrel.

Usage: The word מְדָן is used in the context of disputes or contentions. It is not frequently found in the Hebrew Bible, but when it appears, it typically denotes a situation of conflict or argument.

Context: מְדָן (Medan) is a term that encapsulates the idea of strife or contention. It is rooted in the concept of judgment or legal contention, reflecting situations where parties are in dispute. The word is related to the broader theme of justice and legal proceedings in the Hebrew Scriptures, where disputes are often resolved through judgment. The root דִּין (din) is foundational in understanding the judicial and contentious aspects of ancient Hebrew society, where legal disputes were a common part of community life. The term מְדָן, therefore, is not just about personal quarrels but can also extend to legal and communal disputes.
