Deuteronomy 3:5

5 All of these cities were fortified by high walls, gates, and locking bars; ^{▼▼ Or “high walls and barred gates” (NLT); Heb “high walls, gates, and bars.” Since “bars” could be understood to mean “saloons,” the qualifying adjective “locking” has been supplied in the translation.} in addition there were a great many open villages. ^{▼▼ The Hebrew term פְּרָזִי (p^eraziy) refers to rural areas, at the most “unwalled villages” (KJV, NASB “unwalled towns”).}
