Joshua 21:41

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

“All the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be forty-eight cities, together with their pasture lands.

“Now as for the cities which you shall give from the possession of the sons of Israel, you shall take more from the larger, and you shall take less from the smaller; each shall give some of his cities to the Levites in proportion to his possession which he inherits.”

So the sons of Israel gave to the Levites the cities with their pasture lands.
