1 The Lord spoke to Moses on the plains of Moab. This was across from Jericho by the Jordan River. He said,
2 “Command the Israelites to give the Levites cities to live in. These will be cities in the land they receive. Also give the Levites the pastureland around these cities.
3 Then the Levites will have cities where they may live. And they will have pastureland for their cattle, sheep and other animals.
4 The pastureland you give the Levites will extend 1,500 feet from the city wall.
