Brown-Driver-Briggs מְדָן proper name, masculine son of Abraham and Keturah Genesis 25:2; 1 Chronicles 1:32. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root word דִּין (din), meaning "to judge" or "to contend."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Medan, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, the concept of "contention" or "strife" can be related to Greek words such as ἔρις (eris, Strong's Greek 2054), meaning "strife" or "contention." Usage: Medan is used as a proper name in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to one of the sons of Abraham by Keturah. Context: Medan is mentioned in the genealogical records of the Bible as one of the sons of Abraham and Keturah. In Genesis 25:2, the Berean Standard Bible states: "She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah." Medan is listed among the descendants of Abraham who were sent away to the east, away from Isaac, to prevent any conflict over inheritance. The name Medan, meaning "contention" or "strife," may reflect the potential for discord among Abraham's descendants. Medan's descendants are not extensively detailed in the biblical narrative, and his lineage is not as prominent as that of his half-brother Isaac or his brother Midian. The mention of Medan highlights the broader narrative of Abraham's numerous offspring and the fulfillment of God's promise to make Abraham a father of many nations.
