19:40 The allocation to Dan’s descendants
40 The final seventh draw went to Dan’s descendants according to their clans. 41 Their land included the cities of Tsor’ah, Eshtaol, Ir-Shemesh, 42 Sha’alvim, Ayalon, and Yitlah, 43 Eylon, Timnah, Ekron, 44 Elteke, Gibton, Ba’alat, 45 Yehud, Beney-Berak, Gat-Rimon, 46 Mey-Hayarkon, Rakon, and the area opposite Yafo (Joppa). 47 Dan’s border went out from them.[fn] Then Dan’s descendants battled against Leshem and captured it and slaughtered their inhabitants. So they took it over and settled in Leshem but they renamed it to ‘Dan’ after their ancestor.[ref] 48 That was Dan’s descendants’ inheritance according to their clans, including those cities as well as their surrounding villages.
19:47 Translations vary widely here because we’re not sure what is meant by the literal rendering that we’ve kept here.
After the Israelites had conquered portions of the Promised Land and Joshua had grown old, the Lord directed him to divide the rest of the land among the tribes of Israel as their inheritance (Joshua 13-20). The eastern tribes had already been allotted their land under Moses’ leadership (Numbers 32), but they continued to help the other tribes drive out the Canaanites from land west of the Jordan River. The Lord also instructed the Israelites to designate several cities of refuge, where someone could flee for protection from an avenger if they accidentally killed someone (Numbers 35; Joshua 20).
