Contextual Overview
1And YHWH speaks to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, [near] Jericho, saying, 2"Command the sons of Israel, and they have given to the Levites cities to inhabit from the inheritance of their possession; you also give [the] outskirt around them, of the cities, to the Levites. 3And the cities have been for them to inhabit, and their outskirts are for their livestock, and for their goods, and for all their beasts. 4And the outskirts of the cities which you give to the Levites [are], from the wall of the city and outside, one thousand cubits around. 5And you have measured from the outside of the city: the east quarter—two thousand by the cubit, and the south quarter—two thousand by the cubit, and the west quarter—two thousand by the cubit, and the north quarter—two thousand by the cubit; and the city [is] in the midst; this is the outskirts of the cities to them. 6And the cities which you give to the Levites [are] the six cities of refuge, which you give for the fleeing there of the manslayer, and besides them you give forty-two cities; 7all the cities which you give to the Levites [are] forty-eight cities, them and their outskirts.8And the cities which you give [are] from the possession of the sons of Israel; from the many you multiply, and from the few you diminish; each, according to his inheritance which they inherit, gives to the Levites from his cities."
