Contextual Overview

¹ And the Lord said to Moses in the lowlands of Moab by Jordan at Jericho, ² Give orders to the children of Israel to give to the Levites, from the heritage which is theirs, towns for themselves, with land on the outskirts of the towns. ³ These towns are to be their living-places, with land round them for their cattle and their food and all their beasts, ⁴ Stretching from the wall of the towns a distance of a thousand cubits all round. ⁵ The measure of this space of land is to be two thousand cubits outside the town on the east, and two thousand cubits on the south and on the west and on the north, the town being in the middle. This space will be the outskirts of their towns. ⁶ And the towns which you give the Levites are to be the six safe places to which the taker of life may go in flight; and in addition you are to give them forty-two towns. ⁷ Forty-eight towns are to be given to the Levites, all with land round them. ⁸ And these towns are to be given out of the heritage of the children of Israel, taking the greater number from those who have much, and a smaller number from those who have little: everyone, in the measure of his heritage, is to give of his property to the Levites.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Lord spake to Moses,.... After he had described the borders of the land, and given instructions about the division of it among the several tribes, and named the persons that should be concerned in parting and putting it into the possession of the Israelites, he makes a provision for the Levites; for though they had no inheritance in the land as a tribe, yet it was proper they should have cities and houses to dwell in; for it would not be suitable that they should be always about the tabernacle, as they were in the wilderness; and it is concerning this the Lord is said to speak to Moses,

in the plains of Moab by Jordan, near Jericho: where the Israelites now were, and had been for some time:

saying; as follows.

shall not extend, 16-21.

Cases of manslaughter to which the benefits of the cities of

refuge shall extend, 22, 23.

How the congregation shall act between the manslayer and the

The manslayer shall abide in the city of refuge till the death

of the high priest he shall then return to the land of his

possession, 26-28.
