KJV ORIGINAL
Now these are the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazarenan, the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are his sides east and west; a portion for Dan.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
Here's how the land gets divided up among the tribes. Starting from the northern border — you know, the route that goes through Hethlon toward Hamath, then to Hazar-enan (that's Damascus's northern border), and on to the Hamath territory — Dan gets the first strip of land that stretches all the way from the eastern border to the western border.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God's dividing up the promised land fairly, and Dan gets the first slice from east to west.
