1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses in the Moabite plains by the Jordan near Jericho. He said:
2 “Instruct the Israelites to give the Levites towns to live in from the inheritance the Israelites will possess. You must also give the Levites grazing land around the towns.
3 Thus they will have towns in which to live, and their grazing lands will be for their cattle, for their possessions, and for all their animals.
4 The grazing lands around the towns that you will give to the Levites must extend to a distance of 500 yards from the town wall.
