Laisha
Beskrivelse
Et sted nevnt i Jesaja 10:30 sammen med Gallim og Anatot. Det bør tilsynelatende søkes nord for Jerusalem. Noen vil identifisere Gallim med Beit Jala, nær Betlehem. Conder foreslår `Isawiyeh på den østlige skråningen, nord-nordøst for Oljeberget.

a lion.
(1.) A city of the Sidonians, in the extreme north of Palestine [Dom 18:7 ; 18:14]; called also Leshem [Jos 19:47 ] and Dan [Dom 18:7 ; 18:29; Jer 8:16 ]. It lay near the sources of the Jordan, about 4 miles from Paneas. The restless and warlike tribe of Dan (q.v.), looking out for larger possessions, invaded this country and took Laish with its territory. It is identified with the ruin Tell-el-Kady, "the mound of the judge," to the north of the Waters of Merom [Jos 11:5 ].
(2.) A place mentioned in [Jes 10:30 ]. It has been supposed to be the modern el-Isawiyeh, about a mile north‑east of Jerusalem.
(3.) The father of Phalti [1Sam 25:44 ].
