Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for "Dedani" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context.

Usage: The term "Dedani" refers to the inhabitants or descendants of Dedan, a name associated with two distinct groups in the Bible. The first Dedan is a descendant of Cush, mentioned in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10:7), and the second is a descendant of Abraham through Keturah (Genesis 25:3). The Dedanites were known for their trading activities, particularly in the Arabian Peninsula.

Cultural and Historical Background: The Dedanites were a significant trading people in the ancient Near East, often associated with the caravan trade routes that connected Africa, Arabia, and the Levant. They are believed to have inhabited areas in what is now modern-day Saudi Arabia. The Dedanites traded in goods such as spices, precious stones, and other luxury items, making them an integral part of the economic landscape of the region.
