The allocation to Dan’s descendants

Jos 19:40–48

19:40 The allocation to Dan’s descendants

40The final seventh draw went to Dan’s descendants according to their clans. 41Their land included the cities of Tsorah, Eshtaol, Ir-Shemesh, 42Shaalabbin, Ayyalon, and Yitlah, 43Elon, Timnah, Ekron, 44Eltekeh, Gibbeton, Baalat, 45Yehud, Bene-Berak, Gat-Rimmon, 46Meyarkon, Rakkon, and the area opposite Yafo (Joppa). 47Dan’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] 48That was Dan’s descendants’ inheritance according to their clans, including those cities as well as their surrounding villages.

Jdg 18:27-29:

27taking with them the things that Micah had made, as well as his priest. They came to Layish where the unsuspecting people were living peaceably, and they slaughtered them with their swords and burnt down the city. 28No one came to rescue them because it was a long way from Tsidon and they did have much involvement with them anyway. (Layish was in the valley near Beyt-Rehob.) They rebuilt the city and then moved into it. 29They named the rebuilt city Dan (instead of Layish) in honour of their ancestor Dan who was one of Israel’s sons.
