Connection with Dan's name
Dan comes from din (H1777), to judge or vindicate. At his birth Rachel spoke as though God had ruled for her against her sister (Genesis 30:6). Here Jacob turns the name toward the whole people: Dan, named for one sister's win, is given a calling to bring justice to all his brothers.
