Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(67) And they gave unto them, of the cities of refuge . . .--The correct version of the Hebrew text is, "And they gave unto them the cities of refuge, Shechem and her pastures, in the hill-country of Ephraim; and Gezer and her pastures." Perhaps both here and in 1Chronicles 6:57 above "city" ('iyr), and not "cities" ('arey), is the original reading. We have already noticed many indications of textual corruption in this and the former section. Gezer was not a city of refuge. (See Note on 1Chronicles 6:57.) Joshua 21:21 has the singular.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewThey were givenוַיִּתְּנ֨וּ (way·yit·tə·nū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 5414: To give, put, setShechemשְׁכֶ֥ם (šə·ḵem)Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 7927: Shechem -- 'ridge', a district in Northern Palestine, also a son of Hamor(a cityעָרֵ֧י (‘ā·rê)Noun - feminine plural constructStrong's 5892: Excitementof refuge)הַמִּקְלָ֛ט (ham·miq·lāṭ)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 4733: Refuge, asylumwith its pasturelandsמִגְרָשֶׁ֖יהָ (miḡ·rā·še·hā)Noun - masculine plural construct | third person feminine singularStrong's 4054: A suburb, the area around a, building, the margin of the seain the hill countryבְּהַ֣ר (bə·har)Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 2022: Mountain, hill, hill countryof Ephraim,אֶפְרָ֑יִם (’ep̄·rā·yim)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 669: Ephraim -- a son of Joseph, also his descendants and their territoryandוְאֶת־ (wə·’eṯ-)Conjunctive waw | Direct object markerStrong's 853: Untranslatable mark of the accusative caseGezer,גֶּ֖זֶר (ge·zer)Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 1507: Gezer -- 'portion', a Levitical city on the border of EphraimJump to PreviousCities City Country Ephraim E'phraim Flight Following Gezer Hill Hill-Country Lands Mount Open Pasture Refuge Safe Shechem Suburbs
