Commentary on Numbers 32:16

Theological / Devotional

Sheepfolds. Constructed of dry stone courses, field stones gathered together, and with no roof.

Cities. Probably repaired Amorite dwellings already on the ground. A weakness of this plan was that their women and children and their cattle and sheep could scarcely be left in newly conquered, hostile territory without a strong, well-armed force to protect them.
