NASB
"They called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father who was born in Israel; however, the name of the city formerly was Laish."
— Judges 18:29, NASB
“And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the first.”
“And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the first. ”
“They called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born to Israel: however the name of the city was Laish at the first.”
“They named it Dan after their ancestor, who was one of Israel’s sons. But the city’s name used to be Laish.”
“Calling the name of the city Dan, after the name of their father, who was the son of Israel, which before was called Lais.”
“And they gave the town the name of Dan, after Dan their father, who was the son of Israel: though the town had been named Laish at first.”
“And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the first.”
So the sons of Dan went on their way; and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.
Then they took what Micah had made and the priest who had belonged to him, and came to Laish, to a people quiet and secure, and struck them with the edge of the sword; and they burned the city with fire.
And there was no one to deliver them, because it was far from Sidon and they had no dealings with anyone, and it was in the valley which is near Beth-rehob. And they rebuilt the city and lived in it.
They called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father who was born in Israel; however, the name of the city formerly was Laish.
The sons of Dan set up for themselves the graven image; and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the captivity of the land.
So they set up for themselves Micah's graven image which he had made, all the time that the house of God was at Shiloh.
