2 “Instruct the Israelites that they are to give the Levites cities to inhabit out of the inheritance they will possess,+ and they should give the Levites the pastures around the cities.+

8 The cities you give them will be from the possession of the Israelites.+ From the larger group you will take many, and from the smaller group you will take few.+ Each group will give some of its cities to the Levites in proportion to the inheritance that it receives.”
