Commentary

For they gave them Shechem, with her suburbs, in Mount Ephraim,.... Of which see Jos 20:7 , to be a city of refuge for the slayer; which being on a mountain, was the more conspicuous, and the fitter for this purpose, as was Hebron in the hill country of Judea, Jos 21:11 ; this is the second; city of refuge mentioned: and Gezer with her suburbs: a place from whence the Canaanites were not expelled; See Gill on Jos 16:10 .
