Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them — the Levites are to receive cities from the tribal inheritances, not a territorial tribe themselves. These cities include suburban pasture-lands, providing both residential and pastoral support. The requirement falls on all twelve tribes to contribute cities, ensuring corporate responsibility for Levitical support.
