Various modes have been proposed for reconciling the accounts in these two verses, which appear in general to require full as much explanation as the text itself. The explanation of Maimonides is the only one that is intelligible, and appears perfectly satisfactory. "The suburbs," says he, "of the cities are expressed in the law to be 3,000 cubits on every side, from the wall of the city and outwards. The first 1,000 cubits are the suburbs; and the 2,000, which they measured without the suburbs, were for fields and vineyards." six cities for refuge Num 35:13-14; Deut 4:41-43; Josh 20:2-9, Josh 21:3, Josh 21:13, Josh 21:21, Josh 21:27, Josh 21:32, Josh 21:36, Josh 21:38; Ps 9:9; Ps 62:7-8, Ps 142:4-5; Isa 4:6; Matt 11:28; Heb 6:18 to them ye shall add Heb. above them ye shall give Josh 21:3-42; 1Chr 6:54-81 possession Gen 49:7; Exod 32:28-29; Deut 33:8-11; Josh 21:3 from them Num 26:54, Num 33:54; Exod 16:18; 2Cor 8:13-14 he inheriteth Heb. they inherit
