Fjärde Moseboken 35:8

Av de städer som ni ska ge av Israels barns besittningar, ska ni ta fler från de större stammarna och färre från de mindre. Varje stam ska ge åt leviterna några av sina städer, motsvarande den arvedel den själv har fått.”

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.
