Topical Lexicon 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 Hebrew proper noun "Dan" in the Strong's Greek Concordance, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew context. However, the name Dan is transliterated into Greek as Δαν (Dan) in the Septuagint and the New Testament genealogies (e.g., Revelation 7:5, where the tribe of Dan is notably absent from the list of sealed tribes). Usage: Dan is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to both a person and a place. It is the name of one of the twelve tribes of Israel, as well as the name of the fifth son of Jacob and the first son of Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant. Additionally, Dan is the name of a city in the northern part of Israel. Context: • Dan, the Person: Dan is the fifth son of Jacob, born to him by Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant. His birth is recorded in Genesis 30:6, where Rachel declares, "God has vindicated me; He has heard my voice and given me a son." Therefore, she named him Dan. Dan is the progenitor of the tribe of Dan, one of the twelve tribes of Israel.
