3 a city on northern frontier of Israel at one of the sources of the Jordan, originally לַיִשׁ Judges 18:29 (compare Judges 18:7); = לֶשֶׁם Joshua 19:47; captured by a colony of Danites; named Daniel , and made a sacred place with rites of worship that lasted until the exile ( Judges 18:30); = Tell el Kâdî, Rob BR iii. 351,358 Bd Pa1 265. This place is frequently referred to: Genesis 14:14; Deuteronomy 34:1; 1 Kings 12:29,30; 1 Kings 15:20; 2 Kings 10:29; 2 Chronicles 16:4; Jeremiah 4:15; Jeremiah 8:16; Amos 8:14; read also וּבְדָן for וְכֵן 2 Samuel 20:18 ᵐ5 Ew We compare Dr; and see the phrase מִדָּן וְעַדבְּֿאֵר שֶׁבַע Judges 20:1; 1 Samuel 3:20; 2 Samuel 3:10; 2 Samuel 17:11; 2 Samuel 24:2,15; 1 Kings 5:5; given by Chronicles מִבְּאֵר שֶׁבַעוְעַדדָּֿן 1 Chronicles 21:2; 2 Chronicles 30:5. ( Ezekiel 27:19 see ודן.)
Note. — דָּ֫נָה יַעַן 2 Samuel 24:6. As no such place is known, the text is usually regarded as corrupt, and, ᵐ5 being uncertain, is variously changed: (1) דָּ֫נָה יַעַר to Dan in the wood, Thes after ᵑ9 silvestria. (2) (וַיָּסֹבּוּ) דָּ֫נָה וְעִיּוֺן to Dan and Ijon Klo (compare 1 Kings 15:20). (3) (סָֽבֲבוּ) דָּן וּמִדָּן We Dr compare ᵐ5.
דָּן (“judge”), [Dan], pr. name
(1) of a son of Jacob, and of the tribe bearing his name; the boundaries of whose land are described, -Josh. 19:4048. [Whence the Gentile noun דָּנִי Judges 13:2 ].
(2) of a town on the northern limit of Palestine (otherwise called לַיִשׁ), Joshua 19:47; Judges 18:29, which took its name from a colony of the Danites. In the words דָּנָה יַעַן 2 Samuel 24:6, there appears to be a transcriptural error, and we should probably read יַעַד. Vulg. silvestria.
[For וְדָן see under.]
