He is identified as the son of Gideoni and a leader of the tribe of Benjamin during the wilderness period of the Israelites. Abidan is noted for his role in the census and organization of the tribes as they prepared to enter the Promised Land. In Numbers 1:11, Abidan is listed among the leaders chosen to assist Moses and Aaron in taking a census of the Israelite community: "from Benjamin, Abidan son of Gideoni." His leadership position is reaffirmed in Numbers 2:22, where he is named as the leader of the tribe of Benjamin during the arrangement of the camp: "Then the tribe of Benjamin, and the leader of the Benjamites shall be Abidan son of Gideoni." Abidan's role is further highlighted in Numbers 7:60-65, where he is one of the leaders who presents offerings during the dedication of the altar. On the ninth day, Abidan brings his offering, which includes a silver platter, a silver bowl, and a gold dish, along with various animals for sacrifice. Abidan's presence in these passages underscores his importance as a tribal leader and his contribution to the religious and communal life of the Israelites during their journey through the wilderness.
