Usage: Leshem is a proper noun referring to a city in the territory allotted to the tribe of Dan. It is mentioned in the context of the conquest and settlement of the Promised Land by the Israelites. Cultural and Historical Background: Leshem, also known as Laish, was a city located in the northern part of Canaan. It was originally inhabited by a non-Israelite people before being conquered by the tribe of Dan. The city was strategically important due to its location and resources.
