| <p> One of the six cities of [[Judah]] in the "wilderness" (midbar; Joshua 15:61, including the waste on the upper level, the cliffs, and shore of the lake). Um el Bedun valley, S.W. of the [[Dead]] Sea, bears traces of the name. Conder (Palestine Exploration, July 1875) identifies it with Khirbet Mird, one of the six cities of the midbar or "desert", on the edge of the Bukeia, E. of [[Mar]] Saba. </p> | | Middin <ref name="term_50689" /> |

| | <p> For this site Tristram suggests (Bible Places, page 87) Khurbet Mird, two miles north-east of [[Mar]] Saba, the Mons Mardes of the Middle Ages, a ruin on a strong hill, with an aqueduct, wells, and arches (Memoirs to the Ordnance Survey, 3:212). </p> |

| <p> ''''' mid´in ''''' ( מדּין , <i> ''''' middı̄n ''''' </i> ; in <i> Gb </i> , Αἰνών , <i> ''''' Ainṓn ''''' </i> , "springs"): One of the six cities in the wilderness of [[Judah]] ( Joshua 15:61 ). There are not many possible sites. The [[Hebrew]] name may possibly survive in <i> '''''Khirbet''''' </i> <i> '''''Mird''''' </i> , a very conspicuous site with many ancient cisterns overlooking the plateau <i> '''''el''''' </i> <i> '''''Bukea‛''''' </i> , above which it towers to a height of 1,000 ft.; it is the <i> Mons </i> <i> Mardes </i> of early [[Christian]] pilgrims; the existing remains are Byzantine. It is a site of great natural strength and was clearly once a place of some importance. The [[Greek]] reading <i> '''''Ainōn''''' </i> , "place of springs," suggests the neighborhood of the extensive oasis of <i> '''''‛Ain''''' </i> <i> '''''Feshkhah''''' </i> at the northwest corner of the [[Dead]] [[Sea]] where there are at <i> '''''Kh''''' </i> . <i> '''''Kumrâm''''' </i> remains of buildings and a rock-cut aqueduct. See <i> PEF </i> , III, 210, 212, Sh Xviii . </p>

| <p> (Heb. Middin', מַדַּין , distaznce; Sept. Μαδδίν v.r. Μαδών), a town in the desert of Judah, mentioned between Beth-arabah and [[Secacah]] (Joshua 15:61); and probably situated not far from the [[Dead]] Sea, about opposite its middle, or possibly at the ruins near a well marked on [[Van]] de Velde's Map as [[Khan]] Mardeh, near the north end of the Dead Sea. "By Van de Velde (Memoir, page 256, and Map) mention is made of a valley on the south-western side of the Dead Sea, below Masada, called Urn el- Bedun, which may contain a trace of the ancient name." </p>
