And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities. And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities. 1 Jos 21:13Jos 21:3Jos 21:21Jos 21:27Jos 21:32Jos 21:36Jos 21:38Psa 9:9 So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs. 1Ch 6:54-81Jos 21:3-42 And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth. 2 Num 26:54Num 33:54Exo 16:18Jos 21:1-422Co 8:13-14Deu 33:8-11Exo 32:28-29Gen 49:7
