Forty-eight cities for the Levites, with their pasture lands

레위인에게 줄 사십팔 성읍과 그 들

Numbers 35:1–8: in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho the LORD tells Moses to have the children of Israel give the Levites cities to live in out of their inheritance, with pasture lands around them. Two thousand cubits are measured on each side outside the city, the city in the middle. The Levites are to have the six cities of refuge and forty-two others, forty-eight cities in all, taken more from those who have much and fewer from those who have little. At 35:4 the WEB has the pasture lands reach one thousand cubits from the wall, where the Korean Revised Version reads two thousand.

    1The LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying,

    2“Command the children of Israel to give to the Levites cities to dwell in out of their inheritance. You shall give pasture lands for the cities around them to the Levites.

    3They shall have the cities to dwell in. Their pasture lands shall be for their livestock, and for their possessions, and for all their animals.

    4“The pasture lands of the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, shall be from the wall of the city and outward one thousand cubits around it.

    5You shall measure outside of the city for the east side two thousand cubits, and for the south side two thousand cubits, and for the west side two thousand cubits, and for the north side two thousand cubits, the city being in the middle. This shall be the pasture lands of their cities.

    6“The cities which you shall give to the Levites, they shall be the six cities of refuge, which you shall give for the man slayer to flee to. Besides them you shall give forty-two cities.

    7All the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities together with their pasture lands.

    8Concerning the cities which you shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the many you shall take many, and from the few you shall take few. Everyone according to his inheritance which he inherits shall give some of his cities to the Levites.”
