Numbers 35
1 While Israel was camped beside the Jordan on the plains of Moab across from Jericho, the LORD said to Moses,
2 “Command the people of Israel to give to the Levites from their property certain towns to live in, along with the surrounding pasturelands.
3 These towns will be for the Levites to live in, and the surrounding lands will provide pasture for their cattle, flocks, and other livestock.
4 The pastureland assigned to the Levites around these towns will extend 1,500 feet from the town walls in every direction.
5 Measure off 3,000 feet outside the town walls in every direction—east, south, west, north—with the town at the center. This area will serve as the larger pastureland for the towns.
6 “Six of the towns you give the Levites will be cities of refuge, where a person who has accidentally killed someone can flee for safety. In addition, give them forty-two other towns.
7 In all, forty-eight towns with the surrounding pastureland will be given to the Levites.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
