Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

All the cities were ten, with their suburbs,.... Four out of Ephraim, four out of Daniel, and two out of the half tribe of Manasseh: which were
for the families of the children of Kohath that remained: who were of the other branch of the Kohathites, and who did not descend from Aaron, and were only Levites, and not priests; See Gill on Joshua 21:20.

Thus they received ten towns in all.
