Numbers 35:1
Again the LORD spoke to Moses on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho:
2 “Command the Israelites to give, from the inheritance they will possess, cities for the Levites to live in and pasturelands around the cities.
3 The cities will be for them to live in, and the pasturelands will be for their herds, their flocks, and all their other livestock.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
