And unto the sons of Kohath, which were left of the family of that tribe, were cities given out of the half tribe, namely, out of the half tribe of Manasseh, by lot, ten cities.
Unto the sons of Kohath, which were left - i:e., in addition to the priests belonging to the same family and tribe of Levi.
By lot, ten cities (Joshua 21:26). The sacred historian gives an explanation, 1 Chronicles 6:66. Eight of these are mentioned, but only two of them are taken out of the half tribe of Manasseh (1 Chronicles 6:70). The names of the other two are given, Joshua 21:21, where full and detailed notices of these arrangements may be found.
