Joshua 19:40-48

Revised Standard Version

The Territory of Dan

⁴⁰ The seventh lot came out for the tribe of Dan, according to its families. ⁴¹ And the territory of its inheritance included Zorah, Esh′ta-ol, Ir-she′mesh, ⁴² Sha-alab′bin, Ai′jalon, Ithlah, ⁴³ Elon, Timnah, Ekron, ⁴⁴ El′tekeh, Gib′bethon, Ba′alath, ⁴⁵ Jehud, Bene-be′rak, Gath-rim′mon, ⁴⁶ and Me-jar′kon and Rakkon with the territory over against Joppa. ⁴⁷ When the territory of the Danites was lost to them, the Danites went up and fought against Leshem, and after capturing it and putting it to the sword they took possession of it and settled in it, calling Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their ancestor. ⁴⁸ This is the inheritance of the tribe of Dan, according to their families—these cities with their villages.
