2 “Instruct the Israelites that they are to give the Levites cities to inhabit out of the inheritance they will possess,+ and they should give the Levites the pastures around the cities.+ 3 They will inhabit the cities, and the pastures will be for their livestock, their goods, and all their other animals. 4 The pastures of the cities that you will give the Levites will extend for 1,000 cubits* from the wall all around the city.
