“And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites these cities with their suburbs, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses.”
These cities and their pasturelands the people of Israel gave to the Levites, as the LORD had commanded through Moses — The formula reiterates that Levitical allocation fulfills divine command through Mosaic precedent. Joshua's administration executes, but does not originate, these provisions.
