Cities: Different Kinds of Levitical

As for the cities of the Levites, the Levites always have the right to redeem their houses in the cities they possess.

So whatever belongs to the Levites may be redeemed—a house sold in a city they possess—and must be released in the Jubilee, because the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the Israelites.

The total number of cities you give the Levites will be forty-eight, with their corresponding pasturelands.

The cities that you apportion from the territory of the Israelites should be given to the Levites in proportion to the inheritance of each tribe: more from a larger tribe and less from a smaller one.”
