Definition of Mahaneh-dan in the Bible

  

Mahaneh-dan

Mahaneh-dan: Judg. 18:12 = "camp of Dan" 13:25 (R.V., "Mahaneh-dan"), a place behind (i.e., west of) Kirjath-jearim, where the six hundred Danites from Zorah and Eshtaol encamped on their way to capture the city of Laish, which they rebuilt and called "Dan, after the name of their father" (18:11-31). The Israel Explorers point to a ruin called 'Erma, situated about 3 miles from the great corn valley on the east of Samson's home.
