Ezekiel46:17
17 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 .
Of any part, or parcel of the Crown Land, or the Prince his inheritance.
Whether such servant be strictly taken, a servant or bondman, or in more large sense any of his servants in the Court, and in office about it.
The year of Iubilee, as Lev. 25.10, 13, 28.
Or his Heirs, if the Prince be dead.
This may be understood either of the Prince or the servant. Either thus, though the Land by gift go back to the Prince, or his Heirs, from the servant, yet what Lands this servant had of his own inheritance, shall descend to the Heirs of that servant, and be theirs: Or else thus, whatever lands of the Prince, by gift are given to servants, shall at the year of Iubilee revert to the sons of the Prince, who shall repossess them, forasmuch as they are lands of inheritance, and of right belong to the Heir.
And for theirs after them.
