Ezekiel 47:22 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you See the note on Ezekiel 47:14. And to the strangers that sojourn among you Foreigners never before had the privilege of purchasing or possessing any inheritance among the Jews; so this mystically denotes the incorporating the Gentiles into the same church with the Jews, making them fellow-heirs, and of the same body with them by the gospel, Ephesians 3:6. They shall have inheritance with you among the tribes, &c. In whatsoever tribe they sojourn, as it is expressed in the next verse.

Ezekiel 47:22

22 And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
