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.

Le territoire des fils de Dan s'étendait hors de chez eux. Les fils de Dan montèrent et combattirent contre Léschem; ils s'en emparèrent et la frappèrent du tranchant de l'épée; ils en prirent possession, s'y établirent, et l'appelèrent Dan, du nom de Dan, leur père.
