Strong's Lexicon Machaneh-dan: Camp of Dan Original Word: מַחֲנֵה־דָן Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: מַחֲנֶה (machaneh), meaning "camp," and דָּן (Dan), referring to the tribe of Dan. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Machaneh-dan, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, related concepts of "camp" or "encampment" might be found in Greek terms like παρεμβολή (parembolē), meaning "camp" or "encampment." Usage: Machaneh-dan refers to a specific location associated with the tribe of Dan. It is used to denote the encampment or gathering place of the Danites, particularly during their migration and settlement periods. Cultural and Historical Background: The tribe of Dan was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descended from Dan, the fifth son of Jacob and Bilhah. The Danites were initially allotted land in the southwestern part of Canaan, but due to pressure from neighboring peoples, they sought a new territory. Machaneh-dan is significant as a staging area during their search for a new homeland, reflecting the challenges and movements of the Israelite tribes during the period of the Judges.
