Joshua 19:40-48

40The seventh allotment of land went to the clans of the tribe of Dan.

41The land allocated as their homeland included the following towns: Zorah, Eshtaol, Ir-shemesh,

42Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah,

43Elon, Timnah, Ekron,

44Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath,

45Jehud, Bene-berak, Gath-rimmon,

46Me-jarkon, Rakkon, and the territory across from Joppa.

47But the tribe of Dan had trouble taking possession of their land, so they attacked the town of Laish. They captured it, slaughtered its people, and settled there. They renamed the town Dan after their ancestor.

48The homeland allocated to the clans of the tribe of Dan included these towns and their surrounding villages.
