“And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.”
And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs thereof shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts — the Levitical cities provide both urban centers (for priestly and judicial service) and surrounding pasture-lands (for livestock and economic self-sufficiency). The division between city and suburbs reflects the distinction between residential and pastoral needs.
