of Israel?
"Various archaeological discoveries support the Biblical record concerning
Jacob, his 12 sons, and the later tribes of Israel.
"Dan - Will Provide Justice for His People (Genesis 49:16)
"Dan was the fifth son of Jacob and the first son of Bilhah, Rachel's
handmaid (Genesis 30:1-6). During the period of Judges, the tribe of Dan
migrated from their original allotment on the Mediterranean coast to the
city of Laish, renamed Dan (Judges 1 .[1] The site of Laish/Dan has been
under excavation since 1966, directed by Avraham Biran on behalf of the
Israel Antiquities Authority.
"The city of Dan is most famous for being the site of one of the high-places
set up by Jeroboam, first king of the breakaway northern kingdom, in order
to worship the golden calf." |
