~ Towns for the Levites ~

On the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho,
the Lord said to Moses,
"Command the Israelites to give the Levites towns to live in
from the inheritance the Israelites will possess.
And give them pasturelands around the towns.
Then they will have towns to live in and pasturelands
for their cattle, flocks and all their livestock.

"The pasturelands around the towns
that you give the Levites
will extend out a thousand cubits from the town wall.
Outside the town,
measure two thousand cubits on the east side,
two thousand on the south,
two thousand on the west,
and two thousand on the north,
with the town in the center.
They will have this area as pastureland for the towns.

(Numbers 35:1-5)
