Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for מְדָנִי (Medani) in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it specifically refers to a Hebrew tribal identity. However, references to Midianites in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible) would use transliterations or contextual equivalents to convey the identity of the Midianites.

Usage: The term מְדָנִי (Medani) is used to refer to individuals who are descendants of Midian, the son of Abraham and Keturah. It is used to describe the people or tribe associated with Midian.

Context: The term מְדָנִי (Medani) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote individuals belonging to the Midianite tribe. The Midianites were a nomadic people who inhabited the region east of the Jordan River and the Sinai Peninsula. They are frequently mentioned in the context of their interactions with the Israelites. The Midianites were descendants of Midian, one of the sons of Abraham through his wife Keturah, as recorded in Genesis 25:1-2. The Midianites played a significant role in various biblical narratives, including the story of Moses, who fled to Midian and married Zipporah, the daughter of Jethro, a priest of Midian (Exodus 2:15-21). The Midianites were also involved in conflicts with the Israelites, notably during the time of the judges, when Gideon defeated them (Judges 6-8). The term מְדָנִי (Medani) thus signifies a member of this historically significant group.
