In yesterday’s post, we discussed the history of Dan which is not, I’ll admit, one of the more noble stories in the Bible. However, today, I would like to just sit with the beauty of Dan. It is a place of lush plant life and rushing water. The area surrounding the city of Dan sits on several underground springs. In many places the water seems to just bubble out of the rocks. In Israel, this area is a designated national park and nature reserve. Israelis and tourists alike love to come to parks like this and hike, taking in the verdant beauty of the location.

It may not be the most exciting region of Israel to the average Bible scholar, it is no Sea of Galilee or Capernaum or Jerusalem, but the North of Israel, the region of Dan, is a beautiful place to visit in the Spring when the foliage is lush and green and the mustard plant flowers are blooming, blanketing open meadows and hillsides with their bright yellow.

The area  reminds the visitor that Israel is diverse in its landscapes and geography.
