A Biblical "Math Problem"
The verse states there are 29 cities in this region, but a simple count of the names listed since verse 21 yields a higher number. Commentators explain this isn't a contradiction but likely due to ancient record-keeping. Some names we read as separate may have been single compound names, or a scribe may have made a numerical error long ago. This shows that such textual issues have reasonable explanations.
