New Catholic Bible

² “Command the people of Israel to give cities to the Levites from the inheritance that they will possess. Also give the Levites pastures around the cities. ³ They are to have cities in which they can dwell as well as pastures for their cattle, their flocks, and all their other animals. ⁴ The pastures that you will give the Levites around the cities will extend one thousand cubits^[a] from the city wall.
