WEB

The cities shall they have to dwell in; and their suburbs shall be for their livestock, and for their substance, and for all their animals.

KJV

And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.

Commentary

And cities shall they have to dwell in,.... For them and their families, and indeed for nothing else, they having no trades nor worldly busi ness to carry on in them: and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle; for stables and stalls to put them up in, and for barns and storehouses to lay in provender for them: and for their goods; where to bestow them, as the increase of their fields, oliveyards, and vineyards, see Luk 12:18 . and for all their beasts; or living creatures; or "for their whole life" (z); or livelihood, whatsoever was for the support of it; the Targum of Jonathan adds, by way of explanation, for all their necessities; and so Jarchi. (z) "ad vitam ipsorum". Vid. Drusium.
