      All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among the nations. All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul. A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

      Psalms 22:27-31

      The Tribe of Dan

      When Jacob and his family first journeyed into Egypt, the tribe of Dan was the least in number; it was just Dan and his one son. By the time Israel came out of Egypt, Dan was the second largest tribe next to Judah; they had increased the most among all the tribes during the period of bondage. However, by the time they reached the Canaan land, they were the smallest tribe. Dan was the last tribe to receive their lot, and they were given the least amount of land. They were even driven away from the valleys into the mountains by the Amorites, and the Philistines took some of their cities. Unlike Judah and Simeon, who were adjacent to each other and helped each other secure their lands, Dan did not appear to cooperate much with the other tribes despite their advantageous location which had them sharing borders with several other tribes.

      After Samson’s death, six hundred Danites moved north, conquered Laish, a city in the valley by Bethrehob, and built a city which they called Dan. This was a sound move, considering that they were small in number. The children of Dan seemed scattered because they had delayed in possessing the land, or some may have been slain by the Canaanites due to their lack of defenses. Dan appeared to have been the least willing to fight among all the tribes until the time of Samson, but having felt that their lot was insufficient, they pushed northward to find and conquer territory. This movement was a fulfillment of what the Lord had showed Moses on Mount Nebo: The Lord shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan. The new lot acquired by their delayed battling to extend their lands became Israel’s north border.

      The saying from Dan even to Beersheba is more than geographical in connotation. Beersheba, the southernmost city of Israel, was owned from the start by Judah, the most prevalent tribe. Eight hundred years ago in Beersheba, the servants of Abimelech king of the Philistines violently took away Abraham’s well; Abraham had to affirm his rightful ownership of the well with him with seven ewe lambs (Genesis 21:28-31). The Philistines stopped the wells in Isaac’s time and also deprived Isaac of the wells which his servants dug. It was this historically significant Beersheba that was used in the expression from Dan to Beersheba, a territory acquired late by a desperate tribe. The southern regions were relatively prosperous and had a better record of keeping the Word of God since the tribe of Judah resided there. While Beersheba represents the timeliness and certainty of God’s covenant, Dan represents the extensions of God’s blessings and mercies, which is later extended to include Gentiles.

      Jacob blessed Judah, saying, Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? (Genesis 49:9). This prominent tribe shows a composed attitude as it comes up from its prey. By contrast, Moses said of Dan, Dan is a lion’s whelp: he shall leap from Bashan (Deuteronomy 33:22). Bashan is a fertile land full of fatlings, but even
