Exegesis
The verb tittenu {תִּתְּנוּ | tit-tə-nû} “you shall give” governs the prepositional phrase meachuzat benei-yisrael {מֵאֲחֻזַּת בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל | mê-’ă-ḥuv-zat bə-nē-yis-rā-’ēl} “from the possession of the sons of Israel.”
In context — Numbers 35:8
And the cities you give shall come from the possession of the sons of Israel . From a tribe with many cities you shall give more, and from a tribe with few cities you shall give fewer; each man shall give from his cities to the Levites according to his inheritance .
