“So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.”
So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs — the total provision is 48 cities with their pasture-lands, a standardized allocation supporting the Levitical priestly system throughout the land. The number 48 may represent 4 cities × 12 tribes, suggesting proportional distribution.
