And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 35 of Numbers. The Levites receive cities distributed among the different tribes, together with surrounding pasturelands. Since they do not possess a territorial inheritance comparable to the other tribes, these cities provide places of residence and sustenance. The distribution again expresses that Levitical service belongs to the entire nation and that all tribes participate indirectly in supporting those who serve in the sanctuary.

dazu Vorstädte um die Städte her sollt ihr den Leviten auch geben, daß sie in den Städten wohnen und in den Vorstädten ihr Vieh und Gut und allerlei Tiere haben.
Y tendrán ellos las ciudades para habitar, y los ejidos de ellas serán para sus animales, y para sus ganados, y para todas sus bestias.
Las ciudades les servirán para vivir, y sus pastizales serán para sus animales, para sus rebaños y para todo su ganado.
Ils auront les villes pour y habiter; et les banlieues seront pour leur bétail, pour leurs biens et pour tous leurs animaux.
Abbiano adunque le città per abitarvi; e sieno i contorni di esse per li lor bestiami, per le lor facoltà, e per tutte le lor bestie.
E terão estas cidades para habitá-las; porém os seus arrabaldes serão para o seu gado, e para os seus bens, e para todos os seus animais.
這些城鎮要歸他們居住,郊外可以給他們牧放牛羊、牲畜和所有的動物。
