Verse 5the wild goatThe word akko, according to the LXX and Vulgate, signifies the tragelephus, or goat-deer; so called from its resemblance to both species.

1. The tenth of all the productions of the land.

2. Forty-eight cities, each forming a square of 4,000 cubits.

3. Two thousand cubits of ground round each city; total of land, 53,000 acres.

4. The first-fruits, and certain parts of all the animals killed in the land.
