47 And the territory of the sons of Dan was too cramped+ for them.* And the sons of Dan proceeded to go up and war against Leʹshem+ and to capture it and strike it with the edge of the sword. Then they took possession of it and went dwelling in it, and they began to call Leʹshem Dan, according to the name of Dan their forefather.+

7 Accordingly the five men went on and came to Laʹish+ and saw how the people that were within it were dwelling in self-reliance according to the custom of the Si·doʹni·ans, quiet and unsuspecting,+ and there was no oppressive conqueror* that was molesting a thing in the land, while they were far off from the Si·doʹni·ans+ and they had nothing to do with mankind.*
