And the open country of the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.
And you shall measure from outside 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 open country of the cities.
