Midian Midian

Midian is a son of Abraham with Keturah. Four centuries later Moses flees from Egypt to the land of Midian. There he meets Jethro, the priest of Midian, and marries his daughter Zipporah.

The name Midian comes from the verb din (din 426) meaning strife, contention and differs only slightly from the name of his brother Medan.

The name Midian means Strife (Jones) or Place Of Judgment (NOBSE).
