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.

亞摩利人強迫但人住在山區，不准他們下到平原。亞摩利人執意住在希烈山、亞雅倫和沙賓，但約瑟家族強盛時，就強迫他們服勞役。

那時以色列沒有王。但支派的人正在尋找可以居住的地方，因為他們在以色列各支派中還沒有得到屬於自己的土地。但支派的人從瑣拉和以實陶派本族的五名勇士去打探、察看那個地方。他們吩咐說：「你們去察看那個地方。」他們到了以法蓮山區，在米迦家裡借宿。他們聽出那利未青年的口音，就問他：「誰帶你來這裡的？你在這裡做什麽？你為什麼在這裡？」那青年便把米迦聘他做祭司的事告訴了他們。他們說：「請你求問上帝，看看我們是否一路順利。」祭司說：「你們安心去吧，耶和華會一路眷顧你們。」五人啟程來到拉億，發現當地人像西頓人一樣無憂無慮，生活安寧，毫無防範，繁榮富足。他們離西頓很遠，與外界沒有來往。五人回到瑣拉和以實陶後，族人問他們：「你們有什麼發現嗎？」他們回答說：「我們前去攻取那地方吧！我們已經打探清楚了，那地方非常好。你們還等什麼？要趕快去佔領那地方。你們到了那裡，會看見當地的居民毫無防範，那裡地大物博，一無所缺。上帝已經把那地方賜給我們了。」但支派便從瑣拉和以實陶派出六百個全副武裝的人。他們來到猶大基列·耶琳的西邊安營。因此，那地方至今仍叫瑪哈尼·但。然後，他們去以法蓮山區，來到米迦的家。偵察過拉億的五個人對其餘的人說：「你們知道嗎？這家有以弗得、一些家庭神像、一個雕刻的偶像和一個金屬鑄像。想一想我們該怎麼辦。」那五個人就進入米迦的家裡，到年輕的利未人房間向他問安，隨行的六百人帶著兵器留在門口。當時祭司也和那六百個全副武裝的人站在門口。那五個人進去拿走了雕刻的偶像、以弗得、家庭神像及金屬鑄像。祭司見那五人進入米迦家拿走雕刻的偶像、以弗得、家庭神像及金屬鑄像，就問他們：「你們在做什麽？」他們說：「安靜，別作聲，跟我們來做我們的師父和祭司吧。做以色列一個支派、一個宗族的祭司難道不比做一家人的祭司更好嗎？」祭司聽了非常高興，就帶著以弗得、家庭神像及雕刻的偶像跟隨了他們。他們轉身離去，兒女、牲畜和財物在隊伍的前面。他們離開米迦的家一段路後，米迦召集鄰居趕了上來，向他們大喊。但支派的人轉身問米迦：「你們召集這麼多人來做什麽？」米迦說：「你們帶走了我的神像和祭司，把我洗劫一空，還問我想做什麽！」但支派的人說：「別再多說了，不然我們當中性情暴躁的人會攻擊你們，使你全家喪命。」但支派的人繼續趕路。米迦見對方人多勢眾，就回家去了。但支派的人帶著米迦的神像和他的祭司來到拉億，那裡的人生活安寧，毫無防範。他們殺掉當地的居民，放火燒了城。拉億離西頓很遠，當地的居民與外界沒有來往，以致孤立無援。這城位於伯·利合附近的山谷中，但支派的人重建該城，住在那裡。這座城原來叫拉億，他們用祖先以色列的兒子但的名字為該城重新命名。
