Joshua 18:28

Context
18:28 Zelah, Haeleph, the Jebusite city 1  (that is, Jerusalem), 2  Gibeah, and Kiriath – a total of fourteen cities and their towns. 3  This was the land assigned to the tribe of Benjamin 4  by its clans.

Joshua 21:32

Context
21:32 from the tribe of Naphtali: Kedesh in Galilee (a city of refuge for one who committed manslaughter), Hammoth Dor, and Kartan, along with the grazing areas of each – a total of three cities.

1 tn The word “city” is supplied in the translation for clarification.

3 tn The structure of this list presents problems. In v. 28 no conjunction appears before “Haeleph” or “Kiriath” in the Hebrew text. This suggests they should be compounded with the preceding names, yielding “Zelah Haeleph” and “Gibeah Kiriath” respectively. This results in a list of only twelve cities, however, while the summary statement (v. 28) gives the number fourteen. One should note, however, that the city lists in chap. 15 do not consistently use the conjunction before the name of each city. See also Josh 19:7, where no conjunction appears before “Rimmon,” but the summary assumes that Ain and Rimmon are distinct.

4 tn Heb “This is the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin.”
