Cities for the Levites

35 In the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: ² Command the Israelites to give, from the inheritance that they possess, towns for the Levites to live in; you shall also give to the Levites pasture lands surrounding the towns. ³ The towns shall be theirs to live in, and their pasture lands shall be for their cattle, for their livestock, and for all their animals.
