Numbers 35:6-8

International Children’s Bible

Cities of Safety

⁶ “Six of the cities you give the Levites will be cities of safety. A person might accidentally kill someone. If he does, he may run to one of those cities for safety. You must also give 42 other cities to the Levites. ⁷ Give the Levites a total of 48 cities and their pastures. ⁸ The larger tribes of Israel must give more cities. The smaller tribes must give fewer cities. Each tribe must give some of its cities to the Levites. The number of cities they give will depend on the size of their land.”
