areas where .... lived <04186> [A.M. 2561. B.C. 1443. these are.]
<02918> [castles.]
clan <04940> [of the families.]
Hebron <02275> [Hebron.]
refuge <04733> [the city of refuge.]
Libnah <03841> [Libnah.]
Jattir <03492> [Jattir.]
Hilez <02432> [Hilen.]
[This variation simply arises from the introduction of a [Y“wd]]
{yood}, and a change of the vowel points; Holon being written [Ch“l“wn <\\See definition 02473\\>,] and Hilen [ChŒyn <\\See definition 02432\\>.]
[Holon. Debir.]
Ashan <06228> [Ashan.]
It is probable that either Ain, in Joshua, is a mistake for Ashan, or that it was called by both names.
[Ain. Beth-shemesh.]
Geba <01387> [Geba.]
Alemeth <05964> [Alemeth.]
<\\See definition 05964\\>.
[Almon. Anathoth.]
thirteen cities <05892 07969> [thirteen cities.]
Here there are only eleven enumerated; but two more are added in the book of Joshua, Juttah and Gibeon, which make thirteen. None of the versions give the full number of names, though they all give the whole sum of thirteen; and it is probable that these two cities had been destroyed and lay in ruins when this book was written, and hence were not enumerated.

[Ajalon.]
Gath Rimmon <01667> [Gath-rimmon.]
Aner <06063> [Aner.]
Aner is probably another name of Tanach, which was a city of the half tribe of Manasseh, west of Jordan; and Eusebius, Jerome, and Procopius of Gaza, say that it was in their time a considerable place, three miles from Legio.
[Tanach, Gath-rimmon. Bileam.]
<\\See definition 01109\\>. Ibleam is here called Bileam, by a transposition of letters common to all languages. It is evident, however, that many of these cities or their names have been changed since the time of Joshua; but, as it has been well observed, Salop and Shrewsbury, Sarum and Salisbury, are as different names as any in these catalogues; yet those who live in their vicinity are not at all confused by them. Some cities also are here mentioned as belonging to Ephraim, which in Joshua are spoken of as cities of Dan; but various changes in such matters would occur in a course of ages.
