Ezekiel 46:19 In-Context

17 But if he deeds a gift from his inheritance to a servant, the servant keeps it only until the year of liberation (the Jubilee year). After that, it comes back to the prince. His inheritance is only for his sons. It stays in the family.

18 The prince must not take the inheritance from any of the people, dispossessing them of their land. He can give his sons only what he himself owns. None of my people are to be run off their land.'"

19 Then the man brought me through the north gate into the holy chambers assigned to the priests and showed me a back room to the west.

20 He said, "This is the kitchen where the priests will cook the guilt offering and sin offering and bake the grain offering so that they won't have to do it in the outside courtyard and endanger the unprepared people out there with The Holy."

21 He proceeded to take me to the outside courtyard and around to each of its four corners. In each corner I observed another court.
