Ibn Ezra on Numbers 35:11/אבן עזרא על במדבר ל״ה:י״א
אוהקריתם. מגזרת קריה:
1THEN YE SHALL APPOINT YOU CITIES. The word ve-hikritem (then shall ye appoint you) is related to the word kiryah (cities).5, a wall. Kiryah is thus a walled city. Ve-hikritem lakhem arim thus means, and you shall build walled cities.
