“The sons of Dan set up for themselves the graven image; and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the captivity of the land.” (Judges 18:30) This supports a new working hypothesis: the Mosaic line persisted as a priestly lineage serving the Danites until the captivity (circa 770-740 BCE) and thus the line may also have persisted thereafter amidst the scattered 'lost' tribes.
