The Levites were given 48 cities in total, as detailed in the Book of Numbers (Chapter 35) and the Book of Joshua (Chapter 21) in the Bible. These cities were distributed among the different Levitical clans and included six cities of refuge, where individuals could seek asylum. The provision of these cities was part of the Israelites' broader allocation of land among the tribes.

Looking in to the Hebrew Bible , Jacob (progenitor of Israel) had 12 sons. The twelve sons fathered the twelve Tribes of Israel. * When the land of Israel was apportioned among the tribes in the days of Joshua , the Tribe of Levi , being priests, did not receive land (Joshua 13:33, 14:3). However; the tribe of Levi was given cities. Six cities were given to the tribe as refuge cities for all men of Israel and they were to be controlled by the Levites. Three of these cities were located on each opposing side of the Jordan River. In addition, 42 other cities (and their respective open spaces) totaling 48 cities were given to the Tribe of Levi. (Numbers 35) * On the other hand, Jacob elevated the descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh (the two sons of Joseph by his Egyptian wife Asenath ) (Genesis 41:50) to the status of full tribes in their own right, replacing the Tribe of Joseph. Each received its own land and had its own encampment during the 40 years of wandering in the desert.
