29 Jarmuth and En Gannim, together with their pasturelands-four towns;
29 Jarmuth with its pasturelands, En-gannim with its pasturelands--four cities;
29 Jarmuth, and En Gannim, with their pastures - four towns.
29 Jarmuth with its common-land, and En Gannim with its common-land: four cities;
29 Jarmuth, and En-gannim-four towns.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Joshua 21:29
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.
