Context of Joshua 19:30
28It went to Abdon, Rehob, Hammon and Kanah, as far as Great Sidon. 29Then the border turned towards Ramah, and it went as far as the strong city of Tyre. Then it turned to Hosah and it ended at the Mediterranean Sea. Their towns included Hebel, Aczib, Ummah, Aphek and Rehob. They received 22 towns and their villages. 31That was the land that Joshua gave to the families of Asher's tribe, as well as the towns and their villages. 32The sixth part of the land was for Naphtali's tribe, clan by clan.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 30Twenty and two cities - There are nearly thirty cities in the above enumeration instead of twenty-two, but probably several are mentioned that were but frontier towns, and that did not belong to this tribe, their border only passing by such cities; and on this account, though they are named, yet they do not enter into the enumeration in this place.
