Where is Vedan in the Bible?

Vedan is a place of uncertain location mentioned only in Ezekiel 27:19, where the prophet lists it among the nations and merchants trading with the ancient city of Tyre. The exact identity of Vedan remains debated among scholars due to textual difficulties in the passage, though some scholars conjecture it may correspond to Waddan (also called al-Abwa), a location in northwestern Arabia between Mecca and Medina. The name possibly derives from the Arab god Wadd, who was worshipped by certain Arabian tribes in the ancient Near East. Vedan's mention in Ezekiel's prophecy about Tyre's commercial networks underscores the extensive trade relationships that connected the Mediterranean world with distant Arabian regions during the biblical period.

Assuming that Vedan is the correct reading, an identification may be conjectured with Waddan, also called al-`Abwa`, between Mecca and Medina. It was the object of Mohammed's first expedition (Ibn Hisham, 415). The name contains that of the god Wadd who was worshipped chiefly by the Arab tribe Kalb.
