Joshua 21:34-35
And unto Josh 21:7; 1Chr 6:77 Jokneam Josh 12:22, Josh 19:11, Josh 19:15 Dimnah This and the following verse are wholly omitted by the Masora, and many Hebrew Bibles which are esteemed very highly; though, without them, neither the twelve cities of the Merarites in particular (Josh 21:40), nor the forty-eight Levitical cities in general (Josh 21:41), nor the six cities of refuge, can be made up. But these two verses, are thus absolutely necessary for the truth and consistency of this chapter, are happily preserved in no less than 149 manuscripts collated by Dr. Kennicott, and upwards of 40 collated by De Rossi. Josh 21:35
