EZEKIEL 46:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty; after it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons’ for them.”
But if he gives a gift from his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his until the year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince; only the inheritance of the prince shall remain with his sons'—establishing that the prince may give property to servants but only for a limited term, with jubilee release occurring in the year of liberty. The limitation prevents permanent alienation of princely property. This verse establishes the limitations on princely gifts.
