Yehoshua 21:42 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 21:42

These cities were everyone with their suburbs round about
them
Which reached to the space of two thousand cubits on every side; and such a space was assigned to everyone of the above cities for their cattle, to keep them in and lay up provision for them:

thus [were] all their cities;
six of them cities of refuge, and forty two for the priests and Levites to dwell in, and for the commodious use of their herds and flocks.

Yehoshua 21:42 In-Context

40 So all the towns for the Bnei Merari by their mishpekhot, which were remaining of the mishpekhot Levi’im, were by their goral 12 towns.

41 All the towns of the Levi’im within the achuzzat Bnei Yisroel (possession, estate of the Sons of Israel) were 48 towns with their migrashim.

42 These towns were every one with their migrash around them; thus were all these towns.

43 And Hashem gave unto Yisroel Kol HaAretz which He swore to give unto their Avot; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.

44 And Hashem gave them manoach (rest, peace) on every side, according to all that He swore unto their Avot; and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; Hashem delivered all their enemies into their yad.
