Charles Ellicott Commentary
"And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and their suburbs shall be for their cattle, and for their substance, and for all their beasts." — Numbers 35:3 (ASV)
For their cattle ... — The word which is rendered “cattle” generally denotes oxen and beasts of burden. The word which is rendered “goods” probably refers here to the sheep and goats. (Compare to 2 Chronicles 21:14; 2 Chronicles 35:7.) The passage may be rendered, for their cattle and for their substance, even for all their beasts.
