1 Chronicles 6:64

So the Israelites gave the Levites these towns and their pasturelands.

From the land that the people of Israel possessed, a total of forty-eight cities, with the pasturelands around them, was given to the Levites.

So in accordance with Jehovah's command the people of Israel gave the Levites cities and pasturelands out of their own territories.

Jehovah spoke to Moses on the plains of Moab near the Jordan River across from Jericho. He said:

And the children of Israel gave to the Levites these cities with their suburbs.

From the land that the people of Israel possessed, a total of forty-eight cities, with the pasturelands around them, was given to the Levites.

Tell the Israelites to give the Levites some cities from their own property. They must also give the Levites the pastureland around those cities.
