Numbers 35:5-7
International Standard Version
5 You are to measure from outside the wall of the town on the east side 2,000 cubits,[a] on the south side 2,000 cubits,[b] on the west side 2,000 cubits,[c] and on the north side 2,000 cubits,[d] with the town placed at the center. This reserved area is to serve as grazing[e] land for their towns. 6 You are to set aside six towns of refuge from the towns that you will be giving to the descendants of Levi, where someone who kills a human being may run for shelter. In addition, give them 42 other towns. 7 The total number of towns that you are to give to the descendants of Levi is to be 48 towns, including grazing lands surrounding these towns.
