Ezekiel 46:18 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Shall not take; seize and escheat as forfeited, (like as Ahab dealt with Naboth, or David with Mephibosheth,) to give to others, or keep for himself. By oppression; whether fraudulent or violent oppression, whether under colour of justice or against all rules of law. To thrust them out, that he may put in his own creatures or children. He shall give his sons, provide for his own, ont of that is his own. That my people be not scattered; that they may keep together in their own land.

Ezekiel 46:18

18 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.
