Aijalon
The name "Aijalon" is derived from the Hebrew root "אַיָּלוֹן" (Ayyalon), which means "place of deer" or "gazelle." This city was located in the territory of the tribe of Dan, although it was also associated with the tribe of Benjamin. Aijalon holds historical significance as a site of several biblical battles, including the famous battle where Joshua commanded the sun to stand still (Joshua 10:12). This city represents a place of divine intervention and victory, reminding believers of God's power to alter the natural order for the sake of His people.

and its pasturelands
The mention of "pasturelands" indicates the agricultural and pastoral nature of the region. In ancient Israel, pasturelands were vital for sustaining livestock, which were essential for the economy and daily life. The Hebrew word for pasturelands, "מִגְרָשׁ" (migrash), suggests open spaces designated for grazing. This phrase underscores God's provision for His people, ensuring that their physical needs are met. It also symbolizes spiritual nourishment, as believers are likened to sheep under the care of the Good Shepherd.

Gath-rimmon
"Gath-rimmon" combines two Hebrew words: "גַּת" (Gath), meaning "winepress," and "רִמּוֹן" (Rimmon), meaning "pomegranate." This Levitical city was allocated to the tribe of Dan and later to the Levites. The imagery of a winepress and pomegranate evokes themes of abundance and fruitfulness. In biblical symbolism, the winepress often represents judgment or blessing, while the pomegranate signifies prosperity and fertility. Gath-rimmon serves as a reminder of the blessings that flow from faithful service to God and the fruitful life that results from living in His will.

and its pasturelands
Reiterating the importance of "pasturelands," this phrase emphasizes the provision and sustenance that God offers to His people. The repetition highlights the abundance and care that God provides, ensuring that His people have all they need to thrive. It also reflects the spiritual truth that God is the ultimate provider, sustaining His people both physically and spiritually. The pastoral imagery invites believers to trust in God's provision and to find rest and nourishment in His presence.

(69) Aijalon with her suburbs . . .--Joshua 21:23-24, "And out of the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh and her pastures, Gibbethon and her pastures, Aijalon and her pastures, Gath-rimmon and her pastures; four cities." Clearly there is a lacuna in our text between 1Chronicles 6:68-69. It has been supposed that the chronicler omits mention of the tribe of Dan, here and elsewhere, owing to a religious prejudice, because of the illicit form of worship of which the city Dan was the centre. It is more likely that such omissions are not chargeable to the chronicler, but either to the imperfection of his sources, or to the carelessness, and perhaps malpractice, of his copyists and editors. (See further Note on 1Chronicles 7:12.)
