Exegesis

The conjunction al-ken {עַל־כֵּ֡ן | ‘al-kên} “therefore” introduces the resultant naming encoded by kar'u {קָרְאוּ֩ | qā-rə-’ū} “they called,” governing the construct phrase machaneh-Dan lamakom {מַחֲנֵה־דָ֗ן לַמָּק֨וֹם | mă-ḥă-nêh Dân la-mâ-qôm} “camp of Dan as the place.”

In contextJudges 18:12

And they went up and encamped in Kiriath Jearim in Judah; therefore they called that place Mahaneh Dan until this day. Behold, it lies behind Kiriath Jearim.
