In the land shall be his possession in Israel, &c.] Or, “as for the land, it shall be his for a possession in Israel”f819; the people of the land shall be a people for possession, as in (<600209>1 Peter 2:9) or a peculiar people of his throughout all Israel; all the spiritual Israel, whether Jew or Gentile, shall be Christ’s possession and inheritance: and my princes shall no more oppress my people; neither ecclesiastical princes, as the Scribes and Pharisees formerly, nor civil magistrates; not the one with false doctrines, carnal rites and ceremonies; nor the other with heavy taxes, and rigorous exactions: and the rest of the land shall they give to the house of Israel according to their tribes; the spiritual and mystical Israel, Jews and Gentiles, who shall now inherit the earth, and possess all temporal good things, as well as spiritual ones.
