And the suburbs of the cities - shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.
Wesley's Numbers 35:4 Bible Commentary
35:4 A thousand cubits - In the next verse it is two thousand.But this verse and the next do not speak to the same thing; this speaks of the space from whence the suburbs shall be measured, the next speaks of the space unto which that measure shall be extended; and the words may very well be read thus. And the suburbs - Shall be from the wall of the city and from without it, or, from the outward parts of it, even from a thousand cubits round about. Which are mentioned not as the thing measured, but as the space from which the measuring line should begin. And then it follows, Numbers 35:5 .And ye shall measure from without the city, (not from the wall of the city, as said before Numbers 35:4 , but from without it, that is, from the said outward space of a thousand cubits without the wall of the city round about) on the east side two thousand cubits. So in truth there were three thousand cubits from the wall of the city, whereof one thousand probably were for out - houses, stalls for cattle, gardens, vineyards and olive - yards, and the other two thousand for pasture, which are therefore called the field of the suburbs, Leviticus 25:34 , by way of distinction from the suburbs themselves, whichconsist of the first thousand cubits from the wall of the city.
