Joshua 19:30 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty and two cities with their villages. Twenty and two cities - There are nearly thirty cities in the above enumeration instead of twenty-two, but probably several are mentioned that were but frontier towns, and that did not belong to this tribe, their border only passing by such cities; and on this account, though they are named, yet they do not enter into the enumeration in this place. Perhaps some of the villages are named as well as the cities.
