Usage: Leshem is used in the context of a geographical location, specifically a city that was conquered and renamed by the tribe of Dan. Context: Leshem is mentioned in the context of the territorial inheritance of the tribe of Dan. According to the biblical account in the Book of Joshua, the Danites found their allotted territory insufficient and went in search of additional land. They captured the city of Leshem, which they subsequently renamed Dan, after their ancestor. This event is recorded in Joshua 19:47: "But the territory of the Danites slipped from their control. So they went up and fought against Leshem, captured it, and struck it with the sword. They took possession of it, settled there, and renamed it Dan after their forefather." The city of Leshem, therefore, holds historical significance as part of the expansion of the tribe of Dan and is associated with the broader narrative of the Israelite settlement in the Promised Land.
