<P>Some scholars have suggested that 'Midian' does not refer to geographic places or a specific tribe, but to a confederation or 'league' of tribes brought together as a collective for worship purposes. <A href="/wiki/Paul_Haupt" title="Paul Haupt">Paul Haupt</A> first made this suggestion in 1909,<SUP id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-6">[6]</A></SUP> describing Midian as a 'cultic collective' (<I>Kultgenossenschaft</I>) or an '<A href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/amphictyony" class="extiw" title="wikt:amphictyony">amphictyony</A>', meaning 'an association (<I>Bund</I>) of different tribes in the vicinity of a sanctuary'. <A href="/wiki/Elath" title="Elath">Elath</A>, on the northern tip of the <A href="/wiki/Gulf_of_Aqaba" title="Gulf of Aqaba">Gulf of Aqaba</A> was suggested as the location of the first shrine, with a second sanctuary located at <A href="/wiki/Kadesh_(Syria)" title="Kadesh (Syria)">Kadesh</A>.
</P><P>Later writers have questioned the identified sanctuary locations but supported the thesis of a Midianite league. George Mendenhall suggested that the Midianites were a non-Semitic confederate group,<SUP id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-7">[7]</A></SUP> and <A href="/wiki/William_Dumbrell" title="William Dumbrell">William Dumbrell</A> maintained the same case:
</P>
<DL><DD>"We believe that Haupt's proposal is to be adopted, and that Midian, rather than depicting a land, is a general term for an amorphous league of the <A href="/wiki/Late_Bronze_Age" class="mw-redirect" title="Late Bronze Age">Late Bronze Age</A>, of wide geographical range, who, after a series of reverses, the most prominent of which are recorded in <A rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0706.htm#1">Judges 6–7</A>, largely disappeared from the historical scene...'<SUP id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-8">[8]</A></SUP></DD></DL>

<P>It is uncertain which deities the Midianites worshipped. Through their apparent religio-political connection with the <A href="/wiki/Moabites" class="mw-redirect" title="Moabites">Moabites</A><SUP id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-9">[9]</A></SUP> they are thought to have worshipped a multitude,  including <A href="/wiki/Baal-peor" class="mw-redirect" title="Baal-peor">Baal-peor</A> and the <A href="/wiki/Asherah" title="Asherah">Queen of Heaven, Ashteroth</A>. According to <A href="/wiki/Karel_van_der_Toorn" title="Karel van der Toorn">Karel van der Toorn</A>, "By the 14th century BC, before the cult of Yahweh had reached Israel, groups of Edomite and Midianites worshipped Yahweh as their god." <SUP id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-10">[10]</A></SUP>
</P><P>An Egyptian temple of <A href="/wiki/Hathor" title="Hathor">Hathor</A> at <A href="/wiki/Timna_valley" class="mw-redirect" title="Timna valley">Timna</A> continued to be used during the Midianite occupation of the site (terminal Late Bronze Age / Early Iron Age); the Midianites transformed the Hathor mining temple into a desert tent-shrine. In addition to the discovery of post-holes, large quantities of red and yellow decayed cloth with beads woven into it, along with numerous copper rings/wire used to suspend the curtains, were found all along two walls of the shrine. Beno Rothenberg,<SUP id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-11">[11]</A></SUP> the excavator of the site, suggested that the Midianites were making offerings to Hathor, especially since a large number of Midianite votive vessels (25%) were discovered in the shrine.  However, whether Hathor or some other deity was the object of devotion during this period is difficult to ascertain. A small bronze snake with gilded head was also discovered in the naos of the Timna mining shrine, along with a hoard of metal objects that included a small bronze figurine of a bearded male god, which according to Rothenberg was Midianite in origin. Michael Homan<SUP id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-12">[12]</A></SUP> observes that the Midianite tent-shrine at Timna is one of the closest parallels to the biblical <A href="/wiki/Tabernacle" title="Tabernacle">Tabernacle</A>.
