Dan (Tribe)

The Tribe of Dan was one of the twelve tribes of Israel. At the time of the census in Numbers 1 the tribe was composed of 62700 able-bodied men, making the Dan the largest of tribes the Israel. In Judges 5:17 it is indicated that they dwelt in the towns of Acron and Joppe. In Judges 18:1 the tribe expanded to find more land.
