Ezequiel 46:18

18 Y el príncipe no tomará nada de la herencia del pueblo, por no defraudarlos de su posesión; de lo que él posee dará herencia a sus hijos; para que mi pueblo no sea echado cada uno de su posesión.

Ezequiel 46:18 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 46:18

Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance
by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession
Christ, the Prince, will never do this; he will never take any part of his people's inheritance from them, or thrust them out of the possession of any benefit or blessing of grace; they have chosen that good part which shall never be taken from them, ( Luke 10:42 ) , this is said, not as a direction to the prince, as a law enjoined him, or a caution to him against oppression; but as expressing his clemency, grace, and goodness to his subjects, and their safety and security under him: but he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession;
whatever Christ gives his sons, whether present grace, or future glory, it is out of his own possession; for all that the Father has are his; all the blessings of goodness are with him; all the fulness of grace is in him; the eternal inheritance is reserved with him in heaven; and it is all his own he gives, and not another's: that my people be not scattered every man from his possession;
or, "that therefore my people may not be scattered every" "men from his possession" ^F15; because what is given them, and they are in possession of, was Christ's own, and not another's; and which he had a right to dispose of, and therefore they need not fear being dispossessed by another claimant.

Ezequiel 46:18 In-Context

16 Así dijo el Señor DIOS: Si el príncipe diere algún don de su heredad a alguno de sus hijos, será de ellos; posesión de ellos será por herencia.

17 Mas si de su heredad diere don a alguno de sus siervos, será de él hasta el año de libertad, y volverá al príncipe; mas su herencia será de sus hijos.

18 Y el príncipe no tomará nada de la herencia del pueblo, por no defraudarlos de su posesión; de lo que él posee dará herencia a sus hijos; para que mi pueblo no sea echado cada uno de su posesión.

19 Me metió después por la entrada que estaba hacia la puerta, a las cámaras santas de los sacerdotes, las cuales miraban al norte, y había allí un lugar a los lados del occidente.

20 Y me dijo: Este es el lugar donde los sacerdotes cocerán el sacrificio por el pecado y por la expiación; allí cocerán el presente, por no sacarlo al atrio de afuera para santificar al pueblo.
