JOSHUA 21:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Ain with her suburbs, and Juttah with her suburbs, and Beth–shemesh with her suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes.”
Anathoth with its pasturelands, Almon with its pasturelands—four cities — Anathoth ('answers, echo') becomes the birthplace of Jeremiah, the prophet who witnesses covenant violation and judgment (Jeremiah 1:1). The city's inclusion here prefigures its later theological significance.
