Numbers 35:13 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 35:13

And of these cities which ye shall give
Of the forty eight cities they were to give to the Levites, ( Numbers 35:7 ) ,

six cities shall ye have for refuge;
which, I think, makes it clear, that not all the forty eight cities were for refuge, only six of them.
