Numbers 35:2-8
35:2 “Instruct the Israelites to give
the Levites towns to live in from the inheritance the Israelites
will possess. You must also give the Levites grazing land around the towns.
35:3 Thus they will have towns in which to live, and their grazing lands will be for their cattle, for their possessions, and for all their animals.
35:4 The grazing lands around the towns that you will give to the Levites must extend to a distance of 500 yards
from the town wall.
35:5 “You must measure from outside the wall of the town on the east 1,000 yards, and on the south side 1,000 yards, and on the west side 1,000 yards, and on the north side 1,000 yards, with the town in the middle. This territory must belong to them as grazing land for the towns.
35:6 Now from these towns that you will give to the Levites you must select six towns of refuge to which a person who has killed someone may flee. And you must give them forty-two other towns.
35:7 “So the total of the towns you will give the Levites is forty-eight. You must give these together with their grazing lands.
35:8 The towns you will give must be from the possession of the Israelites. From the larger tribes you must give more; and from the smaller tribes fewer. Each must contribute some of its own towns to the Levites in proportion to the inheritance allocated to each.
Ezekiel 48:9-18
48:9 The allotment you set apart to the
Lord will be eight and a quarter miles
in length and three and one-third miles
in width.
48:10 These will be the allotments for the holy portion: for the priests, toward the north eight and a quarter miles
in length, toward the west three and one-third miles
in width, toward the east three and one-third miles
in width, and toward the south eight and a quarter miles
in length; the sanctuary of the
Lord will be in the middle.
48:11 This will be for the priests who are set apart from the descendants of Zadok who kept my charge and did not go astray when the people of Israel strayed off, like the Levites did.
48:12 It will be their portion from the allotment of the land, a most holy place, next to the border of the Levites.
48:13 “Alongside the border of the priests, the Levites will have an allotment eight and a quarter miles in length and three and one-third miles in width. The whole length will be eight and a quarter miles and the width three and one-third miles.
48:14 They must not sell or exchange any of it; they must not transfer this choice portion of land, for it is set apart to the Lord.
48:15 “The remainder, one and two-thirds miles in width and eight and a quarter miles in length, will be for common use by the city, for houses and for open space. The city will be in the middle of it;
48:16 these will be its measurements: The north side will be one and one-half miles, the south side one and one-half miles, the east side one and one-half miles, and the west side one and one-half miles.
48:17 The city will have open spaces: On the north there will be 437½ feet, on the south 437½ feet, on the east 437½ feet, and on the west 437½ feet.
48:18 The remainder of the length alongside the holy allotment will be three and one-third miles to the east and three and one-third miles toward the west, and it will be beside the holy allotment. Its produce will be for food for the workers of the city.
Matthew 10:10
10:10 no bag
for the journey, or an extra tunic,
or sandals or staff,
for the worker deserves his provisions.

Galatians 6:1
Support One Another
6:1 Brothers and sisters, if a person is discovered in some sin, you who are spiritual restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness. Pay close attention to yourselves, so that you are not tempted too.
Galatians 5:17-18
5:17 For the flesh has desires that are opposed to the Spirit, and the Spirit has desires
that are opposed to the flesh, for these are in opposition to
each other, so that you cannot do what you want.
5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
