(1)
The name given by Rachel to Jacob's fifth son, the first by her maid
Bilhah (Gen. xxx. 6; xxxv. 25; cf. Exod. i. 4; 1 Chron. ii. 2).
(2) The tribe to which Dan gave origin, and the
territory in Canaan which it obtained by allotment (Numb. i. 12, 38, 39;
ii. 25, 31; vii. 66; x. 25; xiii. 12; xxvi. 42; xxxiv. 22,
etc.). Its boundary-line ran through Zorah, Eshtaol,
Irshemesh, Ajalon, Ekron, Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Me-jarkon (the Me-jarkon
river), and ended opposite to Japho, i.e. Joppa (Josh. xix. 40-46; xxi.
5, 23; cf. Judg. v. 17).
(3) The name given to Laish or Leshem after its
capture by the Danites (Josh. xix. 47, 48; Judg. xviii. 1-31; cf. Gen.
xiv. 14; Deut. xxxiv. 1; Jer. iv. 15; viii. 16). It was so far
north that the expression "from Dan to Beersheba" was often
used like our own "from John-o'Groat's house to the Land's
End" (Judg. xx. 1; 1 Sam. iii. 20; 2 Sam. iii. 10; xvii. 11; xxiv.
2, 15; 1 Kings iv. 25; etc.). (The Sunday School Teacher's Bible
