John Trapp on Ezekiel 46:17

Ver. 17. But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his ſervants] As Alexander the Great, who going to ſubdue a great part of the habitable world, gave away to his ſervants almoſt all he had; and when one of his officers asked him What he would leave for himſelf?Don̄a throni. he ſaid, Hope. Meſſiah the Prince, beſides his choyceſt gifts to his dear children, giveth gifts unto men, even to the rebellious alſo, Pſal. 68.18. theſe are common gifts,Dona ſcabelli. temporal favours, external privivedges: See Mat. 7.22, 23. & 25.14, 15, &c. Luke 19.12, &c. But as the ſervant abideth not in the houſe for ever (as the ſon doth) Job. 8.35. ſo theſe gifts to ſervants (but for the behoof and benefit of his Sons) are but till the year of liberty, or Jubilee, till the laſt day at utmoſt, Levit. 25.10. Then ſhall the wicked give a dreadful account of all, with the whole world flaming about their eares.
