1 The Lord spoke to Moses on the plains of Moab across from Jericho by the Jordan River. He said,
2 “Command the Israelites to give the Levites cities to live in from 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 pastureland for their cattle, flocks, and other animals.
4 The pastureland you give the Levites will extend fifteen hundred feet from the city wall.
