7
All the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities; them [shall you give] with their suburbs.
8
Concerning the cities which you shall give of the possession of the children of Yisra'el, from the many you shall take many; and from the few you shall take few: everyone according to his inheritance which he inherits shall give of his cities to the Levites.
9
The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
10
Speak to the children of Yisra'el, and tell them, When you pass over the Yarden into the land of Kana`an,
11
then you shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you, that the manslayer who kills any person unwittingly may flee there.
