<p> [['''A.]] Noun.''' </p> <p> <em> Migrâsh </em> (מִגְרָשָׁה, Strong'S #4054), “suburbs; pasture land; open land.” This noun occurs about 100 times, mainly in Joshua and First Chronicles. It denotes the untilled ground outside a city or the “pasture land” belonging to the cities: “For the children of [[Joseph]] were two tribes, [[Manasseh]] and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the [[Levites]] in the land, save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance” (Josh. 14:4). </p> <p> Ezekiel describes a strip of land for the Levites around the city. Part of the land was to be used for houses and part to be left: “And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane place for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst thereof” (Ezek. 48:15).
