Numbers 35:6-8

Young's Literal Translation

⁶ `And the cities which ye give to the Levites [are] the six cities of refuge, which ye give for the fleeing thither of the man-slayer, and besides them ye give forty and two cities;

⁷ all the cities which ye give to the Levites [are] forty and eight cities, them and their suburbs.

⁸ And the cities which ye give [are] of the possession of the sons of Israel, from the many ye multiply, and from the few ye diminish; each, according to his inheritance which they inherit, doth give of his cities to the Levites.'
