Exegesis
The object arim {עָרִ֖ים | ʿā-rîm} ‘cities’ is quantified by the compound numeral shelosh esreh {שְׁלֹ֥שׁ עֶשְׂרֵֽה | šə-lōš ʿeś-rēh} ‘three ten’, an additive Hebrew number expression yielding “thirteen,” which English renders as a single cardinal for clarity.
In context — Joshua 21:6
And to the sons of Gershon, from the families of the tribe of Issachar, and from the tribe of Asher, and from the tribe of Naphtali, and from half the tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, by lot, thirteen cities.
