1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho, saying,
2 "Command the sons of Israel that they give to the Levites from the inheritance of their possession cities to live in; and you shall give to the Levites pasture lands around the cities.
3 The cities shall be theirs to live in; and their pasture lands shall be for their cattle and for their herds and for all their beasts.
4 "The pasture lands of the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall extend from the wall of the city outward a thousand cubits around.
