但支派无法夺取他们的土地，于是就去攻打利善城，杀了城内的居民，占据了这座城，用他们祖先的名字把城改为但，

但人的地界越过原得的地界；因为但人上去攻取利善，用刀击杀城中的人，得了那城，住在其中，以他们先祖但的名将利善改名为但。

当但的子孙失去他们疆土的时候，就上去攻取利善，用刀击杀城中的人，得了那城，住在城中，以他们祖先但的名字将利善改名为但。

当但的子孙失去他们疆土的时候，就上去攻取利善，用刀击杀城中的人，得了那城，住在城中，以他们祖先但的名字将利善改名为但。

但人未能控制他们的境界，因此他们就上去攻打利善，夺取那城，用刀击杀了城中的人；他们占领利善，就住在城中，以他们祖先但的名字，把利善改名为但。

但支派無法奪取他們的土地，於是就去攻打利善城，殺了城內的居民，佔據了這座城，用他們祖先的名字把城改為但，

但人未能控制他們的境界，因此他們就上去攻打利善，奪取那城，用刀擊殺了城中的人；他們佔領利善，就住在城中，以他們祖先但的名字，把利善改名為但。

但人的地界太窄小、容不下他們，但人就上去攻利善，攻取那城，用刀擊殺了城中的人，取得那城，住在城中，以他們先祖但的名字、將利善改稱為但：

厥後但人之界開拓、因其往攻利善而取之、擊之以刃、據而居之、以祖但之名、名利善曰但、

但族之界狹小、故攻利善而取之、擊以刃、據而居彼、藉祖之名改利善曰但。

後有但人離此、往他境尋地、蓋但人往利善、利善即拉億攻而取之、或作但人之境狹小不足故但人往利善而取之擊之以刃、據而居其中、以其祖但之名、名利善曰但、

( When the territory of the Danites was lost to them, they went up and attacked Leshem, took it, put it to the sword and occupied it. They settled in Leshem and named it Dan after their ancestor.)

The people of Dan lost their territory. So they went up and attacked Leshem. They captured it. They killed its people with their swords. Then they moved into Leshem and made their homes there. They named it Dan. That’s because they traced their family line back to him.

When the territory of the people of Dan was lost to them, the people of Dan went up and fought against Leshem, and after capturing it and striking it with the sword they took possession of it and settled in it, calling Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their ancestor.

But 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.

When the territory of the descendants of Dan slipped out of their control, they went up and fought against Leshem, captured it, and struck it down with the sword. So they took possession of it, lived there, and renamed Leshem after their ancestor Dan.

The territory of the sons of Dan proceeded beyond them; for the sons of Dan went up and fought with Leshem and captured it. Then they struck it with the edge of the sword and took possession of it and settled in it; and they named Leshem Dan after the name of their father Dan.

And the border of the children of Dan went beyond these, because the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem and took it; and they struck it with the edge of the sword, took possession of it, and dwelt in it. They called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father.

And the border of the children of Dan went out beyond them; for the children of Dan went up and fought against Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father.

When the territory of the Danites slipped out of their control, they went up and fought against Leshem, captured it, and struck it down with the sword. So they took possession of it, lived there, and renamed Leshem after their ancestor Dan.

And the coast of the children of Dan went out[ too little] for them: therefore the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father.

( The Danites failed to conquer their territory, so they went up and fought with Leshem and captured it. They put the sword to it, took possession of it, and lived in it. They renamed it Dan after their ancestor.)

The border of the children of Dan went out beyond them; for the children of Dan went up and fought against Leshem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and lived therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their forefather.

亚摩利人强迫但人住在山区，不准他们下到平原。亚摩利人执意住在希烈山、亚雅伦和沙宾，但约瑟家族强盛时，就强迫他们服劳役。

那时以色列没有王。但支派的人正在寻找可以居住的地方，因为他们在以色列各支派中还没有得到属于自己的土地。但支派的人从琐拉和以实陶派本族的五名勇士去打探、察看那个地方。他们吩咐说：“你们去察看那个地方。”他们到了以法莲山区，在米迦家里借宿。他们听出那利未青年的口音，就问他：“谁带你来这里的？你在这里做什么？你为什么在这里？”那青年便把米迦聘他做祭司的事告诉了他们。他们说：“请你求问上帝，看看我们是否一路顺利。”祭司说：“你们安心去吧，耶和华会一路眷顾你们。”五人启程来到拉亿，发现当地人像西顿人一样无忧无虑，生活安宁，毫无防范，繁荣富足。他们离西顿很远，与外界没有来往。五人回到琐拉和以实陶后，族人问他们：“你们有什么发现吗？”他们回答说：“我们前去攻取那地方吧！我们已经打探清楚了，那地方非常好。你们还等什么？要赶快去占领那地方。你们到了那里，会看见当地的居民毫无防范，那里地大物博，一无所缺。上帝已经把那地方赐给我们了。”但支派便从琐拉和以实陶派出六百个全副武装的人。他们来到犹大基列·耶琳的西边安营。因此，那地方至今仍叫玛哈尼·但。然后，他们去以法莲山区，来到米迦的家。侦察过拉亿的五个人对其余的人说：“你们知道吗？这家有以弗得、一些家庭神像、一个雕刻的偶像和一个金属铸像。想一想我们该怎么办。”那五个人就进入米迦的家里，到年轻的利未人房间向他问安，随行的六百人带着兵器留在门口。当时祭司也和那六百个全副武装的人站在门口。那五个人进去拿走了雕刻的偶像、以弗得、家庭神像及金属铸像。祭司见那五人进入米迦家拿走雕刻的偶像、以弗得、家庭神像及金属铸像，就问他们：“你们在做什么？”他们说：“安静，别作声，跟我们来做我们的师父和祭司吧。做以色列一个支派、一个宗族的祭司难道不比做一家人的祭司更好吗？”祭司听了非常高兴，就带着以弗得、家庭神像及雕刻的偶像跟随了他们。他们转身离去，儿女、牲畜和财物在队伍的前面。他们离开米迦的家一段路后，米迦召集邻居赶了上来，向他们大喊。但支派的人转身问米迦：“你们召集这么多人来做什么？”米迦说：“你们带走了我的神像和祭司，把我洗劫一空，还问我想做什么！”但支派的人说：“别再多说了，不然我们当中性情暴躁的人会攻击你们，使你全家丧命。”但支派的人继续赶路。米迦见对方人多势众，就回家去了。但支派的人带着米迦的神像和他的祭司来到拉亿，那里的人生活安宁，毫无防范。他们杀掉当地的居民，放火烧了城。拉亿离西顿很远，当地的居民与外界没有来往，以致孤立无援。这城位于伯·利合附近的山谷中，但支派的人重建该城，住在那里。这座城原来叫拉亿，他们用祖先以色列的儿子但的名字为该城重新命名。
