Numbers 35:2
_ _ give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in — As the Levites were to have no territorial domain allocated to them like the other tribes on the conquest of Canaan, they were to be distributed throughout the land in certain cities appropriated to their use; and these cities were to be surrounded by extensive suburbs. There is an apparent discrepancy between Numbers 35:4 and Numbers 35:5, with regard to the extent of these suburbs; but the statements in the two verses refer to totally different things — the one to the extent of the suburbs from the walls of the city, the other to the space of two thousand cubits from their extremity. In point of fact, there was an extent of ground, amounting to three thousand cubits, measured from the wall of the city. One thousand were most probably occupied with outhouses for the accommodation of shepherds and other servants, with gardens, vineyards, or oliveyards. And these which were portioned out to different families (1 Chronicles 6:60) might be sold by one Levite to another, but not to any individual of another tribe (Jeremiah 32:7). The other two thousand cubits remained a common for the pasturing of cattle (Leviticus 25:34) and, considering their number, that space would be fully required. |
Numbers 35:2

(a) Because they had no inheritance assigned them in the land of Canaan.
(b) God would have them scattered through all the land, because the people might be preserved by them in the obedience of God and his Law. |

This [ shall be] holy in all the borders thereof round about. ... In the land shall be his possession in Israel: and my princes shall no more oppress my people; and [ the rest of] the land shall they give to the house of Israel according to their tribes.

Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
