NUMBERS—NOTE ON Numbers 35:1 The Levites were excluded from inheriting land (Numbers 26:52). They were to live among the people, instructing them in God’s ways. In return, they were to receive tithes from the other tribes in the form of livestock. Here, they are assigned 48 villages and the surrounding grazing land for their livestock. The grazing land was to extend for a thousand cubits (500 yards [457 m]) from the wall of each city.
