Numbers 35:6-8

21st Century King James Version

⁶ And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither; and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.

⁷ So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities; these shall ye give with their suburbs.

⁸ And the cities which ye shall give shall be from the possession of the children of Israel. From those who have many ye shall give many, but from those who have few ye shall give few. Every one shall give from his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.”
