Numbers 35:1-8 (HCSB)
Cities for the Levites
35 The Lord again spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho: 2 “Command the Israelites to give cities out of their hereditary property for the Levites to live in and pastureland around the cities. 3 The cities will be for them to live in, and their pasturelands will be for their herds, flocks, and all their other animals. 4 The pasturelands of the cities you are to give the Levites will extend from the city wall 500 yards on every side. 5 Measure 1,000 yards outside the city for the east side, 1,000 yards for the south side, 1,000 yards for the west side, and 1,000 yards for the north side, with the city in the center. This will belong to them as pasturelands for the cities.
6 “The cities you give the Levites will include six cities of refuge, which you must provide so that the one who kills someone may flee there; in addition to these, give 42 other cities.
7 The total number of cities you give the Levites will be 48, along with their pasturelands. 8 Of the cities that you give from the Israelites’ territory, you should take more from a larger tribe and less from a smaller one. Each tribe is to give some of its cities to the Levites in proportion to the inheritance it receives.”

In this chapter God spoke to Moses again and commanded the 12 tribes of Israel to provide lands for the Levites to live in and pastureland around the cities. The pastureland was to be for the flocks and herd that the Levites received from tithes and offerings from the Israelites. The land for the Levites was provided to them so they could continue to teach the people the laws of God. Among the cities given to the Levites would be six cities of refuge. The cities of refuge were to be for someone who had killed another, but we will discuss those tomorrow, so stay tuned in!
