當但的子孫失去他們疆土的時候，就上去攻取利善，用刀擊殺城中的人，得了那城，住在城中，以他們祖先但的名字將利善改名為但。

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。

當但的子孫失去他們疆土的時候，就上去攻取利善，用刀擊殺城中的人，得了那城，住在城中，以他們祖先但的名字將利善改名為但。

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.

亞摩利人強逼但人住在山區，不准他們下到平原。亞摩利人仍堅持住在希烈山、亞雅崙和沙賓；然而約瑟家權勢強盛的時候，他們成為服勞役的人。

那時，以色列中沒有王。但支派的人還在覓地居住，因為直到那日，他們還沒有在以色列支派中抽籤得地為業。但人從瑣拉和以實陶派本族中的五個勇士，去窺探偵察那地，對他們說：「你們去偵察那地。」他們來到以法蓮山區米迦的家中，就在那裏住宿。他們臨近米迦的家，聽出那年輕的利未人的口音，就繞到那裏，對他說：「誰領你到這裏來？你在這裏做甚麼？你在這裏得了甚麼？」他對他們說：「米迦如此如此待我，他雇用我，我就作了他的祭司。」他們對他說：「請你求問上帝，使我們知道所走的道路是否通達。」祭司對他們說：「你們平平安安去吧，你們所行的道路是在耶和華面前的。」五人就走了，來到拉億，見那裏的人安居，像西頓人的生活一樣安寧無慮，那地無人羞辱他們，無人奪取侵略。他們離西頓人很遠，與世無爭。五人回到瑣拉和以實陶他們的弟兄那裏。他們的弟兄對他們說：「你們怎麼了？」他們說：「起來，我們上去攻打他們吧！我們已經窺探了那地，看哪，那地非常好。你們還要待在這裏嗎？不要再遲延了，立刻出發去得那地為業吧！你們去，必來到安居的百姓和兩邊遼闊的地。上帝已將那地方交在你們手中了；那裏不缺地上的任何東西。」於是但族的六百人，各帶兵器，從瑣拉和以實陶出發，上到猶大的基列‧耶琳，在那裏安營。因此那地方名叫瑪哈尼‧但，直到今日。看哪，它在基列‧耶琳的西邊。他們從那裏往以法蓮山區去，來到米迦的家。先前窺探拉億地的五個人對他們的弟兄說：「你們知道嗎？這些屋子裏有以弗得和家中的神像，以及一尊雕刻的像與一尊鑄成的像。現在你們要知道該怎麼做。」五人轉身，進入米迦的家，來到那年輕利未人的房間，向他問安。六百但人各帶兵器，站在門口。那窺探這地的五個人上前去，進入裏面，拿走雕刻的像、以弗得、家中的神像，以及鑄成的像。祭司和帶兵器的六百人一同站在門口。當五個人進入米迦的家，拿走雕刻的像、以弗得、家中的神像，以及鑄成的像，祭司對他們說：「你們做甚麼呢？」他們對他說：「不要作聲，用手摀口，跟我們去吧！我們必以你為父為祭司。你作一家的祭司好呢？還是作以色列一支派一族的祭司好呢？」祭司心裏歡喜，拿着以弗得和家中的神像，以及雕刻的像，跟這些百姓走了。他們轉身離開那裏，把孩子、牲畜、財物安排在前頭。他們離了米迦的家已遠，米迦家附近的鄰居被召來，追趕但人。他們呼叫但人，但人回頭對米迦說：「你召集這許多人來做甚麼呢？」米迦說：「你們把我所造的神像，還有祭司，都帶走了，我還有甚麼呢？你怎麼還對我說『你在做甚麼』呢？」但人對米迦說：「你不要讓我們再聽見你的聲音，恐怕這羣惱怒成性的人會攻擊你們，你和你的全家就會喪命。」但人仍走他們的路。米迦見他們的勢力比自己強，就轉身回家去了。但人把米迦造的神像和他的祭司帶走，來到拉億安寧無慮的百姓那裏，用刀殺了他們，放火燒了那城。沒有人來搭救，因為這城離西頓很遠，他們又與世無爭；這城在靠近伯‧利合的平原。但人建造這城，在那裏居住，並照着他們祖先以色列之子但的名字，給這城起名叫但。原先這城名叫拉億。
