Numbers 35:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ Cities to dwell in, and their suburbs round about: that they may abide in the towns, and the suburbs may be for their cattle and beasts:

⁴ Which suburbs shall reach from the walls of the cities outward, a thousand paces on every side:

⁵ Toward the east shall be two thousand cubits: and toward the south in like manner shall be two thousand cubits: toward the sea also, which looketh to the west, shall be the same extent: and the north side shall be bounded with the like limits. And the cities shall be in the midst, and the suburbs without.
