The pastures around the towns you give to the Levites are to extend out from the wall a thousand cubits on all sides.
The towns are for them to live in, and the pastures will be for their herds and their flocks—for all their livestock.
Measure two thousand cubits outside the town on the east, two thousand on the south, two thousand on the west, and two thousand on the north, with the town in the middle. These larger areas will be their pastures around the towns.
