EZEKIEL 46:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Moreover the prince shall not take of the people’s inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; but he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered every man from his possession.”
The prince shall not take any of the inheritance of the people, thrusting them out of their possession; he shall give his sons their inheritance out of his own possession, so that none of my people shall be scattered from their possession'—establishing that the prince cannot expropriate the people's land but must sustain his family from his own resources. The protection of popular land rights prevents the historical pattern of oppression. This verse protects the people's land rights.
