And ye shall geue also vnto the cytyes of the Leuites, suburbes rounde aboute them. 3 The cytyes shalbe for them to dwell in, & the suburbes for their catell, possession & all maner beastes of theirs. 4 And the suburbes of the cyties which ye shall geue vnto the Leuites, shall reache from the wall of the cytie outwarde, a thousande cubites rounde aboute. 5 And ye shall measure without the cytie, and make the vtmost border of the eastsyde: two thousande cubytes, And the vtmost border of the southside: two thousande cubites. And the vtmost border of the westsyde: two thousand cubites: & the vtmost border of the northside: two thousande cubytes also: & the cytie shalbe in the myddes. And these shall be the suburbes of their cyties. 6 And among the cyties which ye shal geue vnto the Leuites, there shall be syxe cytyes of fraunches which ye shall geue to that intent that he which kylleth, maye flye thyther And to them ye shall adde .xlij. cyties mo: 7 so that all the cyties whyche ye shall geue the Leuites shalbe .xlviij. wyth theyr suburbes. 8 And of the cyties whyche ye shall geue oute of the possessyons of the chyldren of Israel, ye shall geue many out of theyr possessyons that haue moche and fewe out of their possessyons that haue lytle: so that euery trybe shal geue of hys cityes vnto the Leuites, accordynge to the enheritaunce whyche he enhereteth.
