Now the cities of the tribe of Benjamin according to their families were: Jericho, Beth-hoglah, Emek-keziz — The enumeration of Benjamin's cities shifts focus from abstract boundaries to concrete urban settlements. Jericho, the conquest's first city, holds pride of place at the opening of the list. The inclusion of Beth-hoglah, already mentioned as a boundary marker, shows how geographical markers become urban sites. The listing of cities grounds the tribe's existence in actual habitations, not mere territorial abstraction.
