The Allotment of Dan

40 The seventh lot fell[a] for the tribe of the descendants[b] of Dan according to their families. 41 The border of their inheritance was Zorah, Eshtaol, Ir Shemesh, 42 Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah, 43 Elon, Timnah, Ekron, 44 Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath, 45 Jehud, Bene Berak, Gath Rimmon, 46 Me Jarkon, Rakkon, with the border opposite Joppa. 47 The border of the descendants[c] of Dan continued beyond them,[d] because the descendants[e] of Dan went up and fought with Lesham, and they captured and struck it with the edge of the sword,[f] and they took possession of it and settled in it; and they called Leshem Dan, after the name of Dan their ancestor.[g] 48 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the descendants[h] of Dan according to their families, these cities and their villages.
