²⁶ Command the children of Israel that they give to the Levites out of their possessions,

²⁷ Cities to dwell in, and their suburbs round about: that they may abide in the towns, and the suburbs may be for their cattle and beasts:

²⁸ Which suburbs shall reach from the walls of the cities outward, a thousand paces on every side:

²⁹ Toward the east shall be two thousand cubits: and toward the south in like manner shall be two thousand cubits: toward the sea also, which looketh to the west, shall be the same extent: and the north side shall be bounded with the like limits. And the cities shall be in the midst, and the suburbs without.
