[2] Command  the children  of Israel,  that they give  unto the Levites  of the inheritance  of their possession  cities  to dwell in;  and ye shall give  also unto the Levites  suburbs  for the cities  round about  [3] And the cities  shall they have to dwell in;  and the suburbs  of them shall be for their cattle,  and for their goods,  and for all their beasts.  [4] And the suburbs  of the cities,  which ye shall give  unto the Levites,  shall reach from the wall  of the city  and outward  a thousand  cubits  round about.  [5] And ye shall measure  from without  the city  on the east  side  two thousand  cubits,  and on the south  side  two thousand  cubits,  and on the west  side  two thousand  cubits,  and on the north  side  two thousand  cubits;  and the city  shall be in the midst:  this shall be to them the suburbs  of the cities.  [6] And among the cities  which ye shall give  unto the Levites  there shall be six  cities  for refuge,  which ye shall appoint  for the manslayer,  that he may flee  thither: and to them ye shall add  forty  and two  cities.  [7] So all the cities  which ye shall give  to the Levites  shall be forty  and eight  cities:  them shall ye give with their suburbs.  [8] And the cities  which ye shall give  shall be of the possession  of the children  of Israel:  from them that have many  ye shall give many;  but from them that have few  ye shall give few:  every one  shall give  of his cities  unto the Levites  according  to his inheritance  which he inheriteth.
