And the Lord also spoke these things to Moses in the plains of Moab, above the Jordan, opposite Jericho:
“Instruct the sons of Israel, so that they may give to the Levites, from their possessions,
cities as dwelling places, with their surrounding suburbs, so that they may lodge in the towns, and so that the suburbs may be for cattle and beasts of burden.
The suburbs shall extend from the outer walls of the cities, all around, for the space of one thousand steps.
Facing the east, there shall be two thousand cubits, and facing the south, similarly, there shall be two thousand cubits. Toward the sea, also, which looks out toward the west, there shall be the same measure, and the northern region shall be bounded by equal limits. And the cities shall be in the center, and the suburbs shall be outside.
Now, from the towns which you shall give to the Levites, six shall be separated for the assistance of fugitives, so that he who has shed blood may flee to them. And, aside from these, there shall be forty-two other towns,
