約瑟子有二、馬拿西及以法蓮、各成支派、故不以土壤與利未人為業、惟予邑郊、以藏貨財、為牧牲畜。

蓋約瑟後裔、分為二支派、即瑪拿西支派、以法蓮支派、故不以地予利未人為業、惟予之數邑以居、及邑郊、為藏貨財、為牧牲畜、

“ Command the Israelites to give cities out of their hereditary property for the Levites to live in and pastureland around the cities.The cities will be for them to live in, and their pasturelands will be for their herds, flocks, and all their other animals.The pasturelands of the cities you are to give the Levites will extend from the city wall 500 yards on every side.Measure 1,000 yards outside the city for the east side, 1,000 yards for the south side, 1,000 yards for the west side, and 1,000 yards for the north side, with the city in the center. This will belong to them as pasturelands for the cities.“ The cities you give the Levites will include six cities of refuge, which you must provide so that the one who kills someone may flee there; in addition to these, give 42 other cities.The total number of cities you give the Levites will be 48, along with their pasturelands.Of the cities that you give from the Israelites’ territory, you should take more from a larger tribe and less from a smaller one. Each tribe is to give some of its cities to the Levites in proportion to the inheritance it receives.”
