Translation commentary on 1 Chronicles 6:81

As in the previous verses, Good News Translation has avoided the repetition of the phrase with its pasture lands (see the comments on verse 66). Instead of repeating this phrase in verses 71-81, The Message summarizes at the end of this verse, saying “Pastures were included in all these towns.”
