יהושע, פרק י״ט, פסוק מ״ו

The territory assigned to the tribe of Dan was positioned to the northwest of the lands given to Judah and directly west of the area belonging to Benjamin.

Within this region, the boundary lines encompassed several notable landmarks and settlements. The primary approach among commentators is that all the specific cities listed in this area were an official part of Dan's inheritance. The natural boundaries of the territory included the waters of the Yarkon, a river that continues to bear this exact name today. Additionally, the tribal border extended outward to include the coastal strip of land situated directly across from the city of Jaffa.
