Dedan. [Dedan']


1 . Son of Raamah, son of Cush. His descendants are supposed to have located themselves on the Persian Gulf. Gen. 10: 7; 1 Chr. 1: 9.


2. Descendant of Abraham and Keturah, probably inhabiting the borders of Idumaea. Gen. 25: 3; 1 Chr. 1: 32.


3. District mentioned in Jer. 25: 23; Jer. 49: 8; Ezek. 25: 13. It is more than once in these prophecies associated with Edom, so that it was probably connected with the descendants of Abraham.


4. In Ezek. 27: 15, 20; Ezek. 38: 13 apparently another place of the same name is referred to, which probably alludes to the district where the descendants of Cush settled.
