Joshua 19:47

Context
19:47 (The Danites failed to conquer their territory,² 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 it³ Dan after their ancestor.⁴)

[33:22] ¹sn He will leap forth from Bashan. This may refer to Dan’s conquest of Laish, a region just to the west of Bashan (Judg 18:27-28).

[19:47] ²tn Heb “the territory of the sons of Dan went out from them.”

[19:47] ³tn Heb “Leshem.” The pronoun (“it”) has replaced the name “Leshem” in the translation for stylistic reasons.
