The answer is: Dan

Josh 19:40-49 - A survey was made of the land for the last seven tribes and then given to them by casting lots.

The apportioning of land in the Book of Joshua is a fascinating peek into how the Israelites claimed their promised land after wandering in the desert for years. Dan was the last tribe to receive their share. Isn’t it interesting to think about how the process of casting lots was a method driven by faith and divine guidance? This practice reflects the Israelites' trust that whatever outcome arose was part of a larger plan set out by a higher power.

Delving deeper into the land allocation, the tribe of Dan actually found itself wrestling a bit for its rightful piece. At first, the land assigned wasn’t sufficient, so they ventured north to capture a beautiful city called Laish, which they rechristened Dan. This migration symbolizes not just a quest for territory but an identity shift. They moved from the original lot to make a name for themselves.

Historically, this underlines a theme that seems to echo throughout time—the quest for a home and identity. The fact that Dan means “to judge” in Hebrew matches the tribe's entwinement with civil leadership responsibilities later reflected throughout Israel's history.

Let’s consider some trivia: Dan is notably one of the tribes that goes missing from the final enumeration in the book of Revelation, sparking a bit of speculation and curiosity throughout biblical discussions. What could this oversight signify in the biblical narrative? Each of these details adds multiple layers of understanding to the rich fabric the Bible provides—a strong reminder that even in waiting, meaning can be found.
