Numbers 35:8

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.

And the cities {H5892} which ye shall give {H5414} shall be of the possession {H272} of the children {H1121} of Israel {H3478}: from them that have many {H7227} ye shall give many {H7235}; but from them that have few {H4592} ye shall give few {H4591}: every one {H376} shall give {H5414} of his cities {H5892} unto the Levites {H3881} according {H6310} to his inheritance {H5159} which he inheriteth {H5157}.

As to the cities you will give from those the people of Isra'el possess, from the many you will take many, and from the few you will take few - each tribe will contribute from its cities to the L'vi'im in accordance with the size of its inheritance."

The cities that you apportion from the territory of the Israelites should be given to the Levites in proportion to the inheritance of each tribe: more from a larger tribe and less from a smaller one.”

And concerning the cities which ye shall give of the possession of the children of Israel, from the many ye shall take many; and from the few ye shall take few: every one according to his inheritance which he inheriteth shall give of his cities unto the Levites.
