Deuteronomy 4:41

Calmet.—Yet if we attend to the method of Moses, in his other works, we shall not hastily conclude that it is an interpolation. He frequently repeats what has already been specified. He had received and order from God to appoint these three cities of refuge, (Numbers 35:14,) after he had given the land to the tribes of Ruben, and so forth Numbers 32. This he executes at the conclusion of this discourse; and hence takes occasion to mention how they had taken possession of this country. Bible.
