Joshua 21:21
For they gave them Shechem with her suburbs in mount Ephraim, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Gezer with her suburbs,
For they gave them Shechem, with her suburbs, in Mount Ephraim,.... Of which see Joshua 20:7;
to be a city of refuge for the slayer; which being on a mountain, was the more conspicuous, and the fitter for this purpose, as was Hebron in the hill country of Judea, Joshua 21:11; this is the second; city of refuge mentioned:
and Gezer with her suburbs: a place from whence the Canaanites were not expelled; See Gill on "Joshua 16:10".
