Numbers 35:9

⁷Ye shall give to the Levites in all forty-eight cities, them and their suburbs.

⁸And as for the cities which ye shall give out of the possession of the children of Israel, from those that have much ye shall give much, and from those that have less ye shall give less: they shall give of their cities to the Levites each one according to his inheritance which they shall inherit.

— Numbers 35:9 —

¹⁰Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Ye are to cross over Jordan into the land of Canaan.

¹¹And ye shall appoint to yourselves cities: they shall be to you cities of refuge for the slayer to flee to, everyone who has killed another unintentionally.
