EXPLANATION

Verse 67. Of the. Lit. “cities to flee to, (or of refuge) Sichem,” ( Bible.) which might induce some to suppose that all these cities were of this description; but, in reality, only Sichem had that privilege. Calmet.—Septuagint is liable to the same ambiguity. See verse 57. ( Bible.) Joshua 20:7 and 21:21.
