19:30

Ummah, Aphek, and Rehob. There were twenty-two cities, along with their villages: The towns of Ummah, Aphek, and Rehob were in the plain of Acco.

There were twenty-two cities, along with their villages: The list of towns given for the clan of Asher totals twenty-four towns. Some Bible scholars suggest that Mahalab and Achzib is a parenthesis and should not be counted in the total. Others scholars suggest that Tyre and Sidon should not be included in the list.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

They also received Ummah, Aphek, and Rehob. Their total number of towns was twenty-two, including the villages that were near them
-or-
to Ummah, Aphek, and Rehob. The total number of towns and nearby villages was twenty-two
