Strong's Lexicon Dan: Dan Original Word: דָּן Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root דִּין (din), meaning "to judge" or "to rule." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper noun "Dan" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew name. However, the name appears in the Greek New Testament in genealogies and lists, such as in Revelation 7:5, where the tribe of Dan is notably absent from the list of sealed tribes. Usage: The name "Dan" means "judge" or "he judged." In the Bible, Dan is primarily known as one of the twelve tribes of Israel, named after Jacob's fifth son, Dan, born to him by Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant (Genesis 30:6). The tribe of Dan is often associated with judgment and leadership, reflecting the meaning of the name. Cultural and Historical Background: The tribe of Dan was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, each descending from one of Jacob's sons. Dan was allotted a portion of land in the Promised Land, located in the northern part of Israel. However, due to pressure from neighboring peoples, the tribe later migrated to the northernmost part of Israel, where they captured the city of Laish and renamed it Dan (Judges 18:27-29). This location became significant as a center of idolatry during the period of the Judges and the divided monarchy.
