Ezekiel 46:16-18

Revised Standard Version

¹⁶ “Thus says the Lord God: If the prince makes a gift to any of his sons out of^[a] his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons, it is their property by inheritance. ¹⁷ But if he makes a gift out of his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty; then it shall revert to the prince; only his sons may keep a gift from his inheritance. ¹⁸ The prince shall not take any of the inheritance of the people, thrusting them out of their property; he shall give his sons their inheritance out of his own property, so that none of my people shall be dispossessed of his property.”
