“And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.”
And concerning the cities which ye shall give of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth — the tribal contributions to the Levitical cities are weighted by the tribes' territorial size: larger tribes contribute more cities, smaller tribes fewer. This proportional system ensures equitable burden-sharing.
