(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_called name_of the=city Dān in/on=name_of Dān ancestor_of,their which/who born to,Israel and,but Layish name_of the=city to,[time] )

It might seem that this expression contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: [And they named the city Dan]

דָּ֣ן אֲבִי⁠הֶ֔ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_called name_of the=city Dān in/on=name_of Dān ancestor_of,their which/who born to,Israel and,but Layish name_of the=city to,[time] )

The author is speaking as if Dan were the actual father of these people. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [their ancestor Dan]

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_called name_of the=city Dān in/on=name_of Dān ancestor_of,their which/who born to,Israel and,but Layish name_of the=city to,[time] )

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [whom Israel fathered]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_called name_of the=city Dān in/on=name_of Dān ancestor_of,their which/who born to,Israel and,but Layish name_of the=city to,[time] )

The author is using the adjective first as a noun to mean the earlier time. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this so that this adjective is not a noun or use an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [in the first place] or [originally]
