Me-Jarkon (meaning "waters of Jarkon") was a town assigned to the tribe of Dan during Joshua's division of the Promised Land. Located in the coastal region of Canaan, it marked part of Dan's territorial boundary and represented God's faithful allocation of land to His people according to His sovereign plan.
