Who was Dan?
Dan was a son of Jacob and Bilhah. His name later became the name of a tribe of Israel and also appears as a place name. Genesis gives only limited details about him as an individual.
The account of Dan's birth belongs to a complicated family story. Reading carefully helps us distinguish what is said about the child from the adults' conflicts around him.
