1 The Lord spoke to Moses in the Moab plains by the Jordan across from Jericho:
2 Command the Israelites that they give cities from their inherited property to the Levites in which to live. You will also give the Levites pastures around their cities.
3 The cities will be theirs in which to live. Their pastures will be for their cattle, their possessions, and all their animals.
4 The pastures of the cities that you must give to the Levites will extend from the wall of the city outward for one thousand five hundred feet in all directions.
