Joshua 19:30
Ummah, Aphek, and Rehob. There were twenty-two cities, along with their villages.
BSB
ASV
Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty and two cities with their villages.
KJV
Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty and two cities with their villages.
Twenty and two cities - There are nearly thirty cities in the above enumeration instead of twenty-two, but probably several are mentioned that were but frontier towns, and that did not belong to this tribe, their border only passing by such cities; and on this account, though they are named, yet they do not enter into the enumeration in this place. Perhaps some of the villages are named as well as the cities.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.
