Ezekiel 46:18

“Moreover the prince shall not take of the people’s inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession, &c.] Christ, the Prince, will never do this; he will never take any part of his people’s inheritance from them, or thrust them out of the possession of any benefit or blessing of grace; they have chosen that good part which shall never be taken from them, (<421042>Luke 10:42), this is said, not as a direction to the prince, as a law enjoined him, or a caution to him against oppression; but as expressing his clemency, grace, and goodness to his subjects, and their safety and security under him: but he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession; whatever Christ…”

“The prince was robe provided with possessions of his own, in order to prevent exactions from his subjects; further enactments are added to prevent the alienation of the prince’s land. Any gifts made to his servants must revert to the prince in the “year of liberty,” or jubilee (see the marginal reference note). return to 'Top of Page'”
