“And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.”
And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities — of the Levitical cities, six are designated as cities of refuge for those who have committed unintentional homicide, providing sanctuary from blood-vengeance. The remaining 42 cities serve general Levitical purposes (48 total minus 6 refuge-cities).
