Laish = Leshem?[edit]

I'm wondering if the Laish is the same city as Leshem, mentioned in Joshua 19.47. Since they have the same root, it would make sense, but I don't see it mentioned in the article. Aristophanes68 (talk) 14:40, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I propose merging this page with Tel Dan. --Sreifa (talk) 07:35, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. It is a good fit, although I would like to see a new title such as "Dan (ancient city)" as the article should cover more than just the biblical period. Tel Dan is something I recognize, but mainly in the context of the excavations there, and many people would not search for that term. Regardless, the issue of a title can wait until after a merge, which I support. • Astynax talk 18:36, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
