    Description

    Dedan in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Dedan was an Arabian people and region, mentioned in both the Old and New Testaments. They were descendants of Abraham through his wife Keturah (Genesis 25:3). The Dedanites were known for their involvement in trade, particularly in luxury goods such as ivory, ebony, and precious cloths (Ezk.27.15, 20). The region of Dedan was likely located in the northern part of the Arabian Peninsula, near Edom. The Dedanites are mentioned in prophetic oracles concerning God's judgment against the nations (Jeremiah 25:23; 49:8; Ezk.25.13; 38:13), indicating their significance in the ancient Near East. In Isaiah 21:13, a prophecy is directed to the caravans of Dedanites, warning them of impending danger, further emphasizing their role in trade and travel.

    Relations

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
