Le pusieron el nombre de Dan a la ciudad, según el nombre de Dan su padre, que le nació a Israel; pero el nombre de la ciudad anteriormente era Lais.
Y llamaron el nombre de aquella ciudad Dan, conforme al nombre de Dan su padre, hijo de Israel, bien que antes se llamaba la ciudad Lais.
Y llamaron el nombre de aquella ciudad Dan, conforme al nombre de Dan su padre, hijo de Israel, bien que antes se llamaba la ciudad Lais.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Dan: Judges 20:1, Genesis 14:14, Joshua 19:47, 2 Samuel 17:11, 1 Kings 12:29, 1 Kings 12:30, 1 Kings 15:20
who was: Genesis 30:6, Genesis 32:28, Laish, or Dan, was situated at the northern extremity of the land of Canaan, in a beautiful and fertile plain, at the foot of mount Lebanon, on the springs of Jordan, and, according to Eusebius, four miles from Cesarea Philippi, or Paneas, now Banias - with which some have confounded it towards Tyre. Burckhardt says, that the source of the river El Dhan, or Jordan, is at an hour's distance from Banias, which agrees with Eusebius.
Reciprocal: Deuteronomy 34:1 - Dan 2 Samuel 24:6 - land of Tahtimhodshi 2 Chronicles 16:4 - Dan Isaiah 10:30 - Laish Jeremiah 4:15 - a voice Jeremiah 8:16 - was heard Ezekiel 27:19 - Dan 1 Timothy 6:10 - the love
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they called the name of the city Dan,.... The name of their tribe, and to show that though they were at the furthest part of the land northward, and at such a distance from their tribe, which lay to the southwest, yet they belonged to it:
after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel; one of the twelve sons of Jacob or Israel:
however, the name of the city was Laish at first; which signifies a "lion", and might be so called from its being infested with lions, which might come from the mountain of Lebanon, near to which it was, and whither Dan, as a lion's whelp, leaped, Deuteronomy 33:22 and now the prophecy had its accomplishment. This place was also called Leshem,
Joshua 19:47 and it is remarkable that Leshem is the name of the precious stone in the high priest's breastplate, on which the name of Dan was engraved, which was done many years before this city fell into the hands of the Danites, though that might portend it.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Judges 18:29. Called the name of the city Dan — This city was afterwards very remarkable as one of the extremities of the promised land. The extent of the Jewish territories was generally expressed by the phrase, From DAN to BEER-SHEBA; that is, From the most northern to the southern extremity.
