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.

亚摩利人强迫但人退回山地上，不容他们下到平原来。亚摩利人决意住在希烈山、亚雅仑和沙宾；但约瑟家的势力强大以后，他们就成了作苦工的人。

在那些日子，以色列中没有王。那时，但支派还在寻找可居住的地业，因为直到那一天，在以色列的众支派中，但支派仍没有得着地业。于是但人从琐拉和以实陶，差派他们家族中的五个勇士，去窥探查察那地，对他们说：“你们去查察那地吧。”他们来到以法莲山地，进了米迦的家，就在那里住宿。他们在米迦的家附近，认出那青年利未人的口音来，就过去他那里问他：“谁带你到这里来？你在这里作什么？你在这里有什么？”他回答他们：“米迦如此这般待我；他雇了我，我就作了他的祭司。”他们对他说：“请你求问神，使我们知道我们要走的道路是否顺利。”祭司对他们说：“你们平安地去吧，你们要走的道路是蒙耶和华悦纳的。”于是那五个人离开了，来到拉亿，看见那里的人民安然居住，好像西顿人一样，生活平静安稳；在那地又没有人掌权，使他们受屈辱（“在那地又没有人掌权，使他们受屈辱”原文意思不明确，或译﹕“他们在地上没缺什么，且拥有财富”）；他们离西顿人也很远，也没有与别人来往。他们回到琐拉和以实陶自己的族人那里去；族人问他们：“你们有什么话说？”他们回答：“起来，我们上去攻击他们吧。因为我们已经看过那地，见那地十分美好，你们还静坐不动吗？不可再迟延，要赶快去取得那地。你们到了那里的时候，你们必遇见安然居住的人民；那地的两边宽阔，神已经把那地交在你们手里；那地百物俱全，一无所缺。”于是但人的家族中有六百人，带着兵器从那里出发，就是从琐拉和以实陶出发。他们上去，在犹大的基列．耶琳安营；因此人把那地方叫作玛哈尼．但（“玛哈尼．但”意即“但的军营”），直到现在；这地方是在基列．耶琳的西边。他们从那里经过，往以法莲山地去，来到米迦的家。从前去窥探拉亿地的五个人，对他们的族人说：“这些屋子里有以弗得、神像、雕像和铸像，你们知道吗？现在你们要考虑一下应该怎样行。”于是他们五人转身，进入米迦的家，来到那青年利未人的屋里，向他问安。那六百但人，带着兵器，都站在门口。从前去窥探那地的五个人上前，进入里面，把雕像、以弗得、神像和铸像都拿去了；祭司和带着兵器的六百人都站在门口。当那五个人进了米迦的家，拿走雕像、以弗得、神像和铸像的时候，祭司就问他们：“你们作什么呢？”他们回答他：“不要出声，用手掩着你的嘴，跟我们走吧，好作我们的师父和祭司。你作一家的祭司好呢？还是作以色列中一个支派一个家族的祭司好呢？”祭司心里高兴，就拿着以弗得、神像和雕像，来到众人中间。他们就转身离去，把妇孺和牲畜，以及财物，都放在前面。他们离开米迦的家很远的时候，在米迦的家附近各家的人，都被召集出来，去追赶但人。他们呼叫但人；但人转过脸来，问米迦：“你召集了这么多人出来作什么？”米迦回答：“你们把我所做的神像和我的祭司都带走了，我还有什么呢？你们怎么还问我：‘你作什么’呢？”但人对米迦说：“不要再让我们听见你的声音，恐怕有暴躁的人攻击你们，以致你和你全家尽都丧失性命。”但人继续走他们的路；米迦见他们比自己强，就转身回自己的家去了。但人把米迦所做的神像和他的祭司都带走，他们来到拉亿，去到平静安居的人民那里，就用刀剑击杀了他们，又用火烧了那城。没有人搭救，因为离西顿很远，他们又与别人没有来往。这城位于靠近伯．利合的山谷中。但人重建那城，住在其中。按着他们的祖宗，以色列所生的儿子但的名字，给那城起名叫但；其实那城原先的名字叫拉亿。
