Midian is believed to have been located in modern-day Saudi Arabia, and the people of Midian likely spoke a Northwest Semitic language. It is likely that Jethro, who is mentioned in The Bible as a priest of Midian and the father-in-law of Moses, would have spoken a dialect or variation of this language.
