Numbers 35:2

2 "Command the people of Israel to give the Levites towns to live in. The towns must come from the shares of land the people will have as their own. Also give the Levites the grasslands that are around the towns.

Numbers 35:2 In-Context

1 On the flatlands of Moab, the LORD spoke to Moses. It was by the Jordan River across from Jericho. The LORD said,
2 "Command the people of Israel to give the Levites towns to live in. The towns must come from the shares of land the people will have as their own. Also give the Levites the grasslands that are around the towns.
3 Then the Levites will have towns to live in. They will also have grasslands that are for their cattle, flocks and all of their other livestock.
4 "The grasslands that are around each town you give them will go out to 1,500 feet from the town wall.
5 Outside each town, the east side will measure 3,000 feet. The south side will measure 3,000 feet. The west side will measure 3,000 feet. And the north side will measure 3,000 feet. The town must be in the center. The Levites will have the area around it as grasslands.
