Midian
Midian (; Hebrew: מִדְיָן Mīḏyān [mid.jaːn]; Arabic: مَدْيَن, romanized: Madyan; Greek: Μαδιάμ, Madiam) is a geographical place mentioned in the Hebrew Bible and Quran. William G. Dever states that biblical Midian was in the "northwest Arabian Peninsula, on the east shore of the Gulf of Aqaba on the Red Sea", an area which he notes was "never extensively settled until the 8th–7th century B.C."According to the Book of Genesis, the Midianites were the descendants of Midian, who was a son of Abraham and his wife Keturah: "Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah. And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah" (Genesis 25:1–2, King James Version).Neither Midian's nor the Midianites' existence are attested in antiquity outside of Biblical sources.

Midian
Midian, Madyan, or Madiam is a geographical place and a people mentioned in the Bible and in the Qur'an. William G. Dever suggests it was located in the "northwest Arabian Peninsula, on the east shore of the Gulf of Aqaba on the Red Sea " Some scholars believe it to be somewhere in or around Sudan as the Bible does not make direct mention of its location. Some scholars say it was not a geographical area but a league of tribes. We are also told that Midian was a son of Abraham. The modern Hebrew pronunciation, "Midyan", is the result of a normal vowel shift changing an "a" sound to an "i" sound.
