SIL Translator’s Notes on Joshua 21:29

21:29

Jarmuth: The town of Jarmuth was south of Kishion.

and En-gannim: The town of En-gannim was mentioned in 19:21. It was southwest of the Sea of Galilee.

four cities: The clan of Issachar gave four cities in all to the Kohath families of the Levi people.

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

the town of Jarmuth with the grazing lands around it and the town of En-gannim with the grazing lands around it. They gave four towns in all.
-or-
Jarmuth town with its grasslands and En-gannim town with its grasslands. The total was four towns.
