Joshua 21:25 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 21:25

And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Taanach with her
suburbs
Of which see ( Joshua 17:10 ) ; and Gathrimmon with her suburbs,
there was a city of this name in Dan, as in ( Joshua 21:24 ) ; nor was it unusual for cities to be called by the same name in different tribes: two cities;
these are called Aner and Bilean in ( 1 Chronicles 6:70 ) ; in process of time cities changed their names; two cities were a proper proportion for this half tribe; two more were given out of the other half tribe on the other side Jordan, as appears by what follows.
