Keturunan Merari, menurut kaum-kaum mereka, mendapat dua belas kota dari suku Ruben, dari suku Gad, dan dari suku Zebulon.
Ibn Ezra
Unto him that smiteth them. Unto God, because in truth it is He that smote; the word המכהו has two determinations, like האהלי (Jos. 21:7), my tent.14The two determinations are: the definite article and the possessive pronoun. Nouns with pronominal suffixes have usually no article, because they are sufficiently determined by the pronoun contained in the suffix.
