The Land of Dan

40 ^aThe seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families.

41 And the territory of their inheritance was Zorah, ^aEshtaol, Ir Shemesh,

42 ^aShaalabbin, ^bAijalon, Jethlah,

43 Elon, Timnah, ^aEkron,

44 Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath,

45 Jehud, Bene Berak, Gath Rimmon,

46 Me Jarkon, and Rakkon, with the region near Joppa.

47 And the ^aborder of the children of Dan went beyond these, because the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem and took it; and they struck it with the edge of the sword, took possession of it, and dwelt in it. They called Leshem, ^bDan, after the name of Dan their father.

48 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.

OF DAN. (Joshua 19:40-48)

the seventh lot came out for the tribe . . . Dan—It lay on the west of Benjamin and consisted of portions surrendered by Judah and Ephraim. Its boundaries are not stated, as they were easily distinguishable from the relative position of Dan to the three adjoining tribes.
