Numbers 35:9 BBE

⁷  Forty-eight towns are to be given to the Levites, all with land round them.

⁸  And these towns are to be given out of the heritage of the children of Israel, taking the greater number from those who have much, and a smaller number from those who have little: everyone, in the measure of his heritage, is to give of his property to the Levites.

⁹  And the Lord said to Moses,

¹⁰  Say to the children of Israel, when you have gone over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

¹¹  Then let certain towns be marked out as safe places to which anyone who takes the life of another in error may go in flight.
