To Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a portion among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of Yahweh to Joshua, even Kiriath Arba, [which Arba was] the father of Anak (the same is Hebron).
These cities are here classified as to their general location, the first group, composed of 36 cities, lying along the southern border  (Joshua 15:20-32).  It is of interest that the Sacred Text refers to this group as composed of "twenty-nine" cities, whereas, there are actually 36 names of places mentioned.  Longacre cited this as "an error."[5]  We do not know if the discrepancy is a simple error, or whether the names of certain "villages" which were not reckoned as cities in some way found their way into the text.  Certainly, the "error" if it is that has been there a long time.  It also appears in the LXX.[6]
