Joshua 21:41

All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the sons of Israel were forty-eight cities with their pasture lands.

“Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce;
And their wrath, for it is cruel.
I will disperse them in Jacob,
And scatter them in Israel.

Now the Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan opposite Jericho, saying,

“They shall teach Your ordinances to Jacob,
And Your law to Israel.
They shall put incense before You,
And whole burnt offerings on Your altar.
