2 Ordonne aux enfants d’Israël d’accorder aux Lévites, sur l’héritage qu’ils posséderont, des villes où ils puissent habiter. Vous donnerez aussi aux Lévites une banlieue autour de ces villes.

3 Ils auront les villes pour y habiter; et les banlieues seront pour leur bétail, pour leurs biens et pour tous leurs animaux.
