Commentators note that the city names in this list are connected to other lists in the Bible. For example, 'Mishal' is identified as 'Misheal' in Joshua 19:26 and 'Mashal' in 1 Chronicles 6:74. This scholarly cross-referencing helps demonstrate the consistency of the biblical text across different books.
