SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:18
a Anatot con sus ejidos, a Almón con sus ejidos: cuatro villas.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 21:18
Verse 18. Anathoth.] Celebrated as the birthplace of Jeremiah, about three miles northward of Jerusalem, according to St. Jerome.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. Anathoth with her suburbs , etc.] This is not mentioned among the cities of Benjamin, ( Joshua 18:11-28); it was the native place of the Prophet Jeremiah, (see Gill on “ Jeremiah 1:1”); it lay about two or three miles north of Jerusalem; three, says, Jerom f507 . Rauwolff speaks of it as a small village, when he travelled into those parts, and as lying on a height or eminence, and which was within twenty furlongs of Jerusalem, as Josephus writes f509 : and Almon with her suburbs ; this also is not mentioned among the cities of Benjamin, ( Joshua 18:11-28); it is called Alemeth, ( 1 Chronicles 6:60). Jarchi and Kimchi say it is the same with Bahurim, ( 2 Samuel 3:16); where the Targum renders it by Almeth, and both words signify the same thing, “youth”: four cities ; which were a large number for so small a tribe as little Benjamin to give.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-42 - By mixing the Levites with the other tribes, they were made to see tha the eyes of all Israel were upon them, and therefore it was their concern to walk so that their ministry might not be blamed. Every trib had its share of Levites' cities. Thus did God graciously provide for keeping up religion among them, and that they might have the word in all parts of the land. Yet, blessed be God, we have the gospel mor diffused amongst us. (Jos 21:43-45)
