me.dan is used as the proper name of a son listed among Keturah's children by Abraham.

The supplied verses use the term as a proper name within lists of Keturah's sons by Abraham, including the same sequence in Genesis 25:2 and 1 Chronicles 1:32.

Senses in use

  1. A son named in Keturah's family list · dominant

    In Genesis 25:2, the proper noun occurs in the sequence of children she bore to him; the APB renders the list with “Medan” between Jokshan and Midian. In 1 Chronicles 1:32, the proper noun again appears in the list of Keturah's sons, where the APB likewise includes “Medan.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB presents the name as “Medan” in a list of Keturah's children. The surrounding family relation is confirmed at clause level rather than assigned solely by the English rendering.
