Dan will judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
So Rachel said, “God has judged my cause and also heard my voice—and given me a son.” Therefore she named him Dan.
He saw that a resting place was good, and that the land was pleasant. He leaned his shoulder to bear a burden, and became a forced laborer.
Let Dan be a serpent beside a road, a viper beside a path, who strikes a horse’s heels, so that its rider falls backward.
The standard of the camp of the tribe of the sons of Dan, being the rear guard of all the camps, set out by their divisions. Over his division was Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai.
For Dan he said, ‘Dan is a lion’s cub leaping out of the Bashan.’
Now there was a certain man from Zorah, from a Danite clan, whose name was Manoah. His wife was barren and bore no children.
Then he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines for 20 years.
