Topical Lexicon Word Origin: The origin of the word "Magadan" is uncertain, but it is believed to be of Semitic origin, possibly related to a place name. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Hebrew entries for Magadan, as it is a location mentioned specifically in the Greek New Testament. However, it may be related to Hebrew place names or terms that share a similar Semitic root or geographical significance. Usage: The term "Magadan" is used in the New Testament to refer to a region or area where Jesus traveled during His ministry. It is mentioned in the context of Jesus' movements and activities. Context: Magadan is referenced in the New Testament in the Gospel of Matthew. In Matthew 15:39 (BSB), it is recorded: "After Jesus had dismissed the crowds, He got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan." This passage follows the account of the feeding of the four thousand, indicating that Magadan was a location Jesus visited after performing this miracle. The exact location of Magadan is not definitively known, and it is sometimes associated with the region of Magdala, which is located on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee. Some scholars suggest that Magadan and Magdala may refer to the same area or that Magadan is a variant name for Magdala. Magdala is traditionally known as the hometown of Mary Magdalene, one of Jesus' followers. The mention of Magadan highlights the itinerant nature of Jesus' ministry, as He traveled throughout the regions of Galilee and beyond, teaching, healing, and performing miracles. The reference to Magadan in the Gospel of Matthew underscores the geographical and historical context of Jesus' earthly ministry.
