Ezekiel47:22
22 And it shall come to pass , that ye shall divide it by Lot for an inheritance unto you , and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the countrey among the children of Israel: they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
This directs what they should do, as well as foretels the event that shall be.
So 'twas divided before, so it must again, for thus all controversies shall be prevented, thus he will choose their inheritance for them, for the disposition of the Lot is of the Lord.
That are the Natural seed of Abraham.
Forreigners never had such priviledge before, tho' they might dwell, and trade among the Iews yet they were excluded all Hereditary right, could not purchase, nor possess inheritances, but now the constitution is altered, and by this temporal external incorporating them, a Spiritual and Heavenly is signified no doubt, They are put into capacity of Inheriting with Israel in both Canaans, in this below, in that above.
Who from their Birth should be invested with this right of inheriting.
Equally with the children of Israel in point of Right, and with that very Tribe, in which they sojourn.
Possess, and enjoy, as well as you.
This speaks the equal Title or Priviledge.
This directs where the inheritance of these strangers born among them, or that first came with them, when they came out of Babylon, should be assign'd them, viz. in that very tribe, where they sojourn'd which is fully exprest in the next Verse.
