Judges 18:28-30
Evangelical Heritage Version
28 The people of Laish had no one to rescue them, because they were far away from Sidon, and they did not have any alliance with anyone else. The city was located in the valley near Beth Rehob.
The Danites rebuilt the city and lived there. 29 They named the city Dan, after their forefather Dan, who was born to Israel, but Laish had been the original name of the city.
30 So the Danites set up the engraved idol for themselves, and Jonathan son of Gershom, the son of Moses,[a] and his sons became priests for the tribe of Dan, up to the day of the captivity of the land.

- Judges 18:30 The reading Moses follows ancient versions and some Hebrew manuscripts. Other Hebrew manuscripts read Manasseh, but in some of these Hebrew manuscripts the n is marked to show that it does not belong in the text. It seems that some later copyists wrote Manasseh instead of Moses to avoid offense to the memory of Moses. Such textual variants are known by the name “corrections of the scribes.”
