  • Our tour guide provides some biblical insight about the ancient city of Dan. <br><br>
"Dan (Hebrew: דן‎), is a city mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, described as the northernmost city of the Kingdom of Israel,[1] and belonging to the tribe of Dan. The city is identified with a tell located in northern Israel known as Tel Dan (תל דן‎ "Mound of Dan") in Hebrew, or Tell el-Qadi (تل القاضي "Mound of the Judge" in Arabic)."

  • "he Bible describes the Tribe of Dan brutally defeating the people of Laish and burning the town to the ground, and then building their own town in the same spot. The narrative states that Laish subsequently became known as Dan, after the name of the tribe, and that it housed a sanctuary filled with idols, which remained in use until the time of captivity of the land and the time that the house of God ceased to be in Shiloh."

  • A view into Syria from the Dan Nature Reserve.<br><br>
"Due to its location close to the border with Syria and Lebanon at the far north of the territory which fell under the British Mandate of Palestine, the site has a long and often bitterly contested modern history, most recently during the 1967 Six-Day War." (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_(ancient_city)#Tel_Dan_Nature_Reserve">Wikipedia</a>)
  • "The excavators of Tel Dan uncovered a city gate made of mud bricks on top of megalithic basalt standing stones,[14] estimated to have been built around 1750 BC. Its popular name is Abraham's Gate, due to the biblical story that Abraham traveled to Dan to rescue his nephew Lot. Genesis 14:14." (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_(ancient_city)#Tel_Dan_Nature_Reserve">Wikipedia</a>)
