Quick answer
Jarmuth and En Gannim, with their pasturelands, complete four cities from Issachar. The Gershonite portion in Issachar is summed up.
Overview
The tally of four cities completes Issachar's contribution to the Gershonites. As with the other lists, the careful counting affirms that God's provision was definite and complete. The repeated precision throughout this chapter testifies to a God who fulfills His word down to the last detail in caring for those devoted to His service.
