- Joshua 19:7
Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan—four cities, along with their villages,

Ain, Remmon,.... Of the two first, which were cities of Judah; see Gill on Jos 15:32, and Ether, and Ashan; of the two last; see Gill on Jos 19:42, four cities and their villages; Ain, Remmon, therefore, could not be one city, at this time, as it seems to have been in the times of Nehemiah, Neh 11:29; or otherwise there would have been but three cities.
