Numbers 35:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ Outside each town, the east side will measure 3,000 feet. So will the south side, the west side and the north side. The town must be in the center. And the Levites will own the grasslands around each town.

Cities to Run to for Safety

⁶ “Six of the towns you give the Levites will be cities to go to for safety. A person who has killed someone can run to one of them. Also give the Levites 42 other towns. ⁷ You must give the Levites a total of 48 towns. Also give them the grasslands around those towns.
