OET (OET-LV) They_were the_cities the_these a_city a_city and_its_pasture_of_lands around_of_it were_thus to/from_all/each/any/every the_cities the_these.
Each of these cities had its own surrounding pasturelands; this was true for all the cities.
Each one of these towns had its own grazing lands around it.
All of these towns had grasslands surrounding them.
Each of these cities had its own surrounding pasturelands: This information has been stated in verse 21:41. It is repeated here to emphasize that the Levites received pasture lands for their use.
this was true for all the cities: The clause this was true for all the cities further emphasizes that each town had pasturelands around it for the Levites to use.
If it is not natural in your language to repeat this information it may be possible to combine verse 41 and 42. For example:
From the land that the people of Israel possessed, a total of forty-eight cities, with the pasture lands around them, was given to the Levites (GNT)
Here are some other ways to translate this verse:
Each one of these towns had its own grasslands around it.
All of these towns had grazing lands surrounding them. They were the same in this way.

had the,cities the=these (a)_city (a)_city and,its_pasture_of,lands around_of,it
The author is using a common expression to mean that this was true of each city individually. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Each one of these cities had its own pasturelands around it]
OET (OET-LV) They_were the_cities the_these a_city a_city and_its_pasture_of_lands around_of_it were_thus to/from_all/each/any/every the_cities the_these.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
