Jos 21:35 — Dimnah with her suburbs, Nahalal with her suburbs; four cities.

Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

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 (Jos 21:40,) nor the forty-eight Levitical cities in general (Jos 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 MSS. collated by Dr. Kennicott, and upwards of 40 collated by De Rossi.
