22 And Kibzaim with her suburbs, and Bethhoron with her suburbs; four cities.
22 Kibzaim and Beth Horon, together with their pasturelands-four towns.
22 Kibzaim with its pasturelands, Beth-horon with its pasturelands--four cities;
22 Kibzaim, and Beth Horon, with their pastures - four towns.
22 Kibzaim with its common-land, and Beth Horon with its common-land: four cities;
22 Kibzaim, and Beth-horon-four towns.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Joshua 21:22
Commentary on Joshua 21:9-42
(Read Joshua 21:9-42)
By mixing the Levites with the other tribes, they were made to see that the eyes of all Israel were upon them, and therefore it was their concern to walk so that their ministry might not be blamed. Every tribe had its share of Levites' cities. Thus did God graciously provide for keeping up religion among them, and that they might have the word in all parts of the land. Yet, blessed be God, we have the gospel more diffused amongst us.
