Joshua

40 And the seventh lot came out to Dan.

41 And their borders were Sarath, and Asa, and the cities of Sammaus,

42 and Salamin, and Ammon, and Silatha,

43 and Elon, and Thamnatha, and Accaron;

44 and Alcatha, and Begethon, and Gebeëlan,

45 and Azor, and Banæbacat, and Gethremmon.

46 And westward of Hieracon the border was near to Joppa.

47 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan, according to their families, these are their cities and their villages:

47a and the children of Dan did not drive out the Amorite who afflicted them in the mountain; and the Amorite would not suffer them to come down into the valley, but they forcibly took from them the border of their portion.

48 And the sons of Dan went and fought against Lachis, and took it, and smote it with the ‡edge of the sword; and they dwelt in it, and called the name of it Lasendan:

48a and the Amorite continued to dwell in Edom and in Salamin: and the hand of Ephraim prevailed against them, and they became tributaries to them.

49 And they proceeded to take possession of the land according to their borders, and the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Naue among them,

50 by the command of God, and they gave him the city which he asked for, Thamnasarach, which is in the mount of Ephraim; and he built the city, and dwelt in it.

51 These are the divisions which Eleazar the priest divided by lot, and Joshua the son of Naue, and the heads of families among the tribes of Israel, according to the lots, in Selo before the Lord by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony, and they §went to take possession of the land.
