1 The Lord again spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho:
2 “Command the Israelites to give cities out of their hereditary property for the Levites to live in and pastureland around the cities.
3 The cities will be for them to live in, and their pasturelands will be for their herds, flocks, and all their other animals.
4 The pasturelands of the cities you are to give the Levites will extend from the city wall 500 yards on every side.
