Sister, thank you for adding the awesome questions!  :clap:


Sheba = "seven" or "an oath"

Dedan = "low country"



Lets start with the last one first...

Dedan, we don't seem to get much from the meaning of the name, so lets look at the scriptures.

Jer 49:8 Flee ye, turn back , dwell deep , O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time [that] I will visit him.

Eze 25:13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.

Eze 27:15 The men of Dedan [were] thy merchants ; many isles [were] the merchandise of thine hand: they brought thee [for] a present horns of ivory and ebony.

Eze 27:20 Dedan [was] thy merchant in precious clothes for chariots.

Eze 38:13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?

Merchant : huh  do I try to buy or sell what the Lord has given...????
