Ezekiel 46:18 — Meaning and Application

Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons'; it {shall be} their possession by inheritance.

But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty; after it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons' for them.

Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; {but} he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered every man from his possession.

After he brought me through the entry, which {was} at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there {was} a place on the two sides westward.

Then said he unto me, This {is} the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, where they shall bake the meat offering; that they bear {them} not out into the utter court, to sanctify the people.
