Aliya Summary: The Jews are commanded to provide the Levites with 48
cities where they would dwell -- 42 cities plus the six cities of refuge
which would be designated. Along with these cities, the Levites were
given expanses surrounding the cities for their cattle.
Note
that the measure of 2000 amot as "city limit" was subsequently borrowed
by the Sages in fixing the distance outside the dwelling place that a
person may walk on Shabbat.
