SABEANS sə bē’ ənz (סָבָאִ֖ים; LXX Σαβαειμ, meaning uncertain; the RSV uses drunkards [Ezek 23:42], and the root shebhā connotes raiding, cf. Job 1:15). They were a people of Sem. origin, descended from Sheba (Gen 25:3), and residing in SW Arabia in the area presently known as Yemen and Hadhramaut.
