Exegesis

A geographical merism is formed by lemidan {לְמִדָּן | lə-mid-dān} ‘from Dan’, ve’ad {וְעַד | və-ʿad} ‘and up to’, be’er sheva {בְּאֵר שֶׁבַע | bə-ʾēr še-vāʿ} ‘Beersheba’, and ve’eretz ha-gil’ad {וְאֶרֶץ הַגִּלְעָד | və-ʾe-reṣ ha-ğil-ʿāḏ} ‘and the land of Gilead’, depicting the full territorial sweep.

In context — Judges 20:1

So all the sons of Israel departed, and the whole assembly gathered in unity from Dan to Beersheba and across the land of Gilead before the LORD at Mizpah .
