⁶ “And of the cities which you shall give to the Levites, there shall be six cities for refuge which you shall appoint, to which he who kills may flee. And to them you shall add forty-two more cities.

⁷ “All the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities, along with their suburbs.
