Midian
|
|
Probably not the Midian east of the Red Sea, to which Moses fled, (Exd 2:15, etc.) but the Midian east of the Dead Sea, and south of Moab. These Midianites, whose daughters seduced the Israelites to commit idolatry (Num 22:4, 7; 25:15; 31:2, etc.) were descendants of Midian, son of Abraham, (Gen 25:2.) Their capital city was called Midian, and its remains were to be seen in the time of Eusebius and Jerome: it was situated on the Arnon, south of the city Ar, or Areopolis. Gen 25:2,4; Num 22:4; Num 25:6,14,18 |

Paran

Probably the city of Paran, or the district around it, situated in the south of Idumea, and according to Eusebius, three days' journey east from Elah or Elath, at the head of the eastern branch, or Elamitic gulf of the Red Sea. Gen 14:6; Gen 21:21; Num 10:12; Deu 1:1; Deu 33:2; Hab 3:3 |
