The answer is: 48 Cities of the Levites

Joshua 21:41 - The Levites, designated for priestly duties, were given 48 cities within Israel, emphasizing God’s provision for His servants. These cities not only served as places of refuge but also showcased the communal responsibilities upheld in the biblical narrative. Interestingly, the concept of cities of refuge connects to themes of justice throughout Scripture (Numbers 35:6-34).
