7
So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites
shall be forty-eight cities, the
cities with their suburbs.
8
And the cities which ye shall give
shall be of the possession of the sons of Israel; from
those that have much ye shall give many; but from
those that have few ye shall give few, each one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his possession which he inherited.
9
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
10
Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, When ye have passed the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
11
then ye shall appoint yourselves cities to be cities of refuge for you that the manslayer who kills any person unawares may flee there.
