This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
By an Homoceoteleuton (App-6) some scribe, writing as far as "four cities "at end of Jos_21:35, went back with his eye to the same words at the end of Jos_21:37, and omitted, by an accident, the two verses Jos_21:36 and Jos_21:37, and continued at Jos_21:38, which commences with the some words which end Jos_21:35. Hence they are not contained in the current text of the Hebrew Bible. The Authorized Version puts these verses in, however, without a note; the Revised Version also, but with a note. The two verses are contained in all the early printed Hebrew Bibles, the Septuagint and Vulgate, and very many codices. They were first omitted by Jacoh ben Chayim (1524, 1525), and the current Hebrew printed texts have followed him.
