Jdg 18:7	Then the five ²⁵⁶⁸ men ⁵⁸² departed ³²¹² , and came ⁹³⁵ to Laish³⁹¹⁹, and saw ⁷²⁰⁰ the people ⁵⁹⁷¹ that [were] therein ⁷¹³⁰, how they dwelt ³⁴²⁷ careless ⁹⁸³, after the manner ⁴⁹⁴¹ of the Zidonians ⁶⁷²², quiet ⁸²⁵² and secure ⁹⁸² ; and [there was] no magistrate ³⁴²³ ⁶¹¹⁴ in the land ⁷⁷⁶, that might put [them] to shame ³⁶³⁷ in [any] thing ¹⁶⁹⁷; and they [were] far ⁷³⁵⁰ from the Zidonians ⁶⁷²², and had no business ¹⁶⁹⁷ with [any] man ¹²⁰.

Jdg 18:27	And they took ³⁹⁴⁷ [the things] which Micah ⁴³¹⁸ had made ⁶²¹³ , and the priest ³⁵⁴⁸ which he had, and came ⁹³⁵ unto Laish³⁹¹⁹, unto a people ⁵⁹⁷¹ [that were] at quiet ⁸²⁵² and secure ⁹⁸² : and they smote ⁵²²¹ them with the edge ⁶³¹⁰ of the sword ²⁷¹⁹, and burnt ⁸³¹³ the city ⁵⁸⁹² with fire ⁷⁸⁴.
Jdg 18:29	And they called ⁷¹²¹ the name ⁸⁰³⁴ of the city ⁵⁸⁹² Dan ¹⁸³⁵, after the name ⁸⁰³⁴ of Dan ¹⁸³⁵ their father ¹, who was born ³²⁰⁵ unto Israel ³⁴⁷⁸: howbeit ¹⁹⁹ the name ⁸⁰³⁴ of the city ⁵⁸⁹² [was] Laish³⁹¹⁹ at the first ⁷²²³.
