1 The Lord spoke to Moses on the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho:
2 Command the Israelites out of the heritage they possess to give the Levites cities to dwell in; you will also give the Levites the pasture lands around the cities.
3 The cities will be for them to dwell in, and the pasture lands will be for their cattle, their flocks, and all their other animals.
4 The pasture lands of the cities to be assigned the Levites shall extend a thousand cubits out from the city walls in every direction.
