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。

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。

但人的地界越過原得的地界；因為但人上去攻取利善，用刀擊殺城中的人，得了那城，住在其中，以他們先祖但的名將利善改名為但。

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.

亚摩利人强逼但人住在山区，不准他们下到平原。亚摩利人仍坚持住在希烈山、亚雅仑和沙宾；然而约瑟家权势强盛的时候，他们成为服劳役的人。

那时，以色列中没有王。但支派的人还在觅地居住，因为直到那日，他们还没有在以色列支派中抽签得地为业。但人从琐拉和以实陶派本族中的五个勇士，去窥探侦察那地，对他们说：“你们去侦察那地。”他们来到以法莲山区米迦的家中，就在那里住宿。他们临近米迦的家，听出那年轻的利未人的口音，就绕到那里，对他说：“谁领你到这里来？你在这里做什么？你在这里得了什么？”他对他们说：“米迦如此如此待我，他雇用我，我就作了他的祭司。”他们对他说：“请你求问上帝，使我们知道所走的道路是否通达。”祭司对他们说：“你们平平安安去吧，你们所行的道路是在耶和华面前的。”五人就走了，来到拉亿，见那里的人安居，像西顿人的生活一样安宁无虑，那地无人羞辱他们，无人夺取侵略。他们离西顿人很远，与世无争。五人回到琐拉和以实陶他们的弟兄那里。他们的弟兄对他们说：“你们怎么了？”他们说：“起来，我们上去攻打他们吧！我们已经窥探了那地，看哪，那地非常好。你们还要待在这里吗？不要再迟延了，立刻出发去得那地为业吧！你们去，必来到安居的百姓和两边辽阔的地。上帝已将那地方交在你们手中了；那里不缺地上的任何东西。”于是但族的六百人，各带兵器，从琐拉和以实陶出发，上到犹大的基列‧耶琳，在那里安营。因此那地方名叫玛哈尼‧但，直到今日。看哪，它在基列‧耶琳的西边。他们从那里往以法莲山区去，来到米迦的家。先前窥探拉亿地的五个人对他们的弟兄说：“你们知道吗？这些屋子里有以弗得和家中的神像，以及一尊雕刻的像与一尊铸成的像。现在你们要知道该怎么做。”五人转身，进入米迦的家，来到那年轻利未人的房间，向他问安。六百但人各带兵器，站在门口。那窥探这地的五个人上前去，进入里面，拿走雕刻的像、以弗得、家中的神像，以及铸成的像。祭司和带兵器的六百人一同站在门口。当五个人进入米迦的家，拿走雕刻的像、以弗得、家中的神像，以及铸成的像，祭司对他们说：“你们做什么呢？”他们对他说：“不要作声，用手捂口，跟我们去吧！我们必以你为父为祭司。你作一家的祭司好呢？还是作以色列一支派一族的祭司好呢？”祭司心里欢喜，拿着以弗得和家中的神像，以及雕刻的像，跟这些百姓走了。他们转身离开那里，把孩子、牲畜、财物安排在前头。他们离了米迦的家已远，米迦家附近的邻居被召来，追赶但人。他们呼叫但人，但人回头对米迦说：“你召集这许多人来做什么呢？”米迦说：“你们把我所造的神像，还有祭司，都带走了，我还有什么呢？你怎么还对我说‘你在做什么’呢？”但人对米迦说：“你不要让我们再听见你的声音，恐怕这群恼怒成性的人会攻击你们，你和你的全家就会丧命。”但人仍走他们的路。米迦见他们的势力比自己强，就转身回家去了。但人把米迦造的神像和他的祭司带走，来到拉亿安宁无虑的百姓那里，用刀杀了他们，放火烧了那城。没有人来搭救，因为这城离西顿很远，他们又与世无争；这城在靠近伯‧利合的平原。但人建造这城，在那里居住，并照着他们祖先以色列之子但的名字，给这城起名叫但。原先这城名叫拉亿。
