Joshua 21:21

For they gave them Shechem, with her suburbs, in Mount Ephraim ,.... Of which see Joshua 20:7 ,

to be a city of refuge for the slayer ; which being on a mountain, was the more conspicuous, and the fitter for this purpose, as was Hebron in the hill country of Judea, Joshua 21:11 ; this is the second; city of refuge mentioned:

and Gezer with her suburbs : a place from whence the Canaanites were not expelled; See Gill on Joshua 16:10 .
