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.

Verse 8 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.
