Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Midyani" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context. However, the Greek term "Μαδιάμ" (Madiam, Strong's G3099) is used in the Septuagint to refer to Midian.

Usage: The term "Midyani" refers to a person from Midian, a region and people group frequently mentioned in the Old Testament. The Midianites were descendants of Midian, one of the sons of Abraham and Keturah. The term is used to describe individuals or groups associated with the land of Midian.

Cultural and Historical Background: The Midianites were a nomadic people who inhabited the region east of the Jordan River and the Sinai Peninsula. They were known for their trade and commerce, often traveling in caravans. The Midianites had complex interactions with the Israelites, ranging from hostile encounters to familial ties, as seen in the marriage of Moses to Zipporah, a Midianite woman (Exodus 2:21). The Midianites are also noted for their role in the account of Gideon, where they oppressed the Israelites until Gideon's divinely guided victory (Judges 6-8).
