     * Midian.
       A country in Arabia Petr(9161), on the eastern coast of the Red
       Sea, near Mount Sinai.  This place is still called by the
       Arabs the Land of Midian, or of Jethro.  Abulfeda, speaking
       of Midian, says, "Madyan is a city, in ruins, on the shore of
       the Red Sea, on the opposite side to Tabuc, from which it is
       distant about six days' journey.  At Midian may be seen the
       famous well at which Moses watered the flocks of Sho(8369)b,
       (Jethro.)  This city was the capital of the tribe of Midian
       in the days of the Israelites."

     * for all.
