All their cities were ten cities, as it is expressly said, Jos 21:6. These words, all their cities were, are to be understood out of the former verse; which is not unusual in the Holy Scripture. And so this sacred writer explains himself, 1Ch 6:66, &c., where eight of these cities are named, whereof only two are taken out of this half tribe of Manasseh, 1Ch 6:70, the other two being named, Jos 21:21, &c., where these things are more plainly and fully declared.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers 1878 · Public Domain (61) And unto the sons of Kohath, which were…
(61) And unto the sons of Kohath, which were left of the family of that tribe.—A comparison with Jos_21:5 shows that the text is again mutilated. That passage reads (Heb.), “And unto the sons of Kohath which were left, out of the families [clans] of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half of the tribe of Manasseh, by the lot, ten cities.” The curious redundancy of the present text of 1Ch_6:61, “Out of the half of the tribe of the half of Manasseh”—a phrase which occurs nowhere else—suggests bad emendation of a corrupt reading. The passage from Joshua undoubtedly gives the meaning here. (Comp. 1Ch_6:66-67, below.)
(61-63) These verses correspond to Jos_21:5-7. They supply short statements of the number of cities in the various tribes assigned to the non-Aaronic Kohathites, to the Gershonites, and the Merarites.
