Berean Strong's Lexicon Layish: Layish Original Word: לַיִשׁ Part of Speech: proper name, of a location; proper name, masculine; proper name, of a location Transliteration: Layish Pronunciation: lah-yeesh Phonetic Spelling: (lah'-yish) Definition: Layish Meaning: Laish Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be strong Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Layish in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to a location in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The term "Layish" refers to a lion or a place named after a lion. In the Bible, it is used as a proper noun to denote a city in the northern part of ancient Israel, which was later known as Dan after the tribe of Dan conquered it. Cultural and Historical Background: Layish was a city located in the northernmost part of the land of Canaan. It was known for its isolation and lack of alliances with neighboring cities, making it vulnerable to attack. The city was inhabited by a peaceful and unsuspecting people, which made it an attractive target for the tribe of Dan. The Danites captured Layish, renamed it Dan, and established it as a center of worship, which included the setting up of a graven image, contrary to God's commandments.
