Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • There is no direct Greek equivalent for the term "Danite" as it is a specific Hebrew tribal designation. However, the Greek term for Dan (Δαν) is found in the New Testament, particularly in the genealogical listings and references to the tribes of Israel (e.g., Revelation 7:5-8, where the tribe of Dan is notably absent from the list of sealed tribes).

Usage: The term "Danite" refers to a member of the tribe of Dan, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. This term is used to identify individuals who belong to this specific tribe.

Context: • The tribe of Dan is one of the twelve tribes of Israel, named after Dan, the fifth son of Jacob and the first son of Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant. The Danites were allotted a portion of land in the Promised Land, located in the northern part of Israel, near the Mediterranean Sea. However, due to pressure from neighboring peoples, they later migrated to the northernmost part of Israel, where they captured the city of Laish and renamed it Dan (Judges 18:27-29).
• The Danites are noted for their role in various biblical narratives, including the story of Samson, who was a Danite and one of the judges of Israel (Judges 13-16). The tribe is also mentioned in the context of the idolatry that took place in the northern kingdom, as they set up a graven image in the city of Dan (Judges 18:30-31).
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the term "Danite" is used to describe individuals from this tribe, highlighting their identity and heritage within the larger narrative of the Israelites.
