1 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,
2 “Command the children of Israel to give to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in. You shall give suburbs for the cities around them to the Levites.
3 They shall have the cities to dwell in. Their suburbs shall be for their livestock, and for their possessions, and for all their animals.
4 “The suburbs of the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward one thousand cubits around it.
