Ezekiel 47:23 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

It shall come to pass: see Ezekiel 47:22. In what tribe; whether by choice or chance the stranger fixed in that tribe. No stranger shall be excluded out of the tribe's inheritance, among whom he hath sojourned and begotten children. The stranger; every proselyte or Gentile that joins himself to the people of God. There shall ye give him; neither the Jew might thrust a stranger out into another tribe, nor might the stranger by choice go to another. His inheritance; it is called his, for so much as he had a right preceding the assignation. Saith the Lord God: all this confirmed by Divine authority.

Ezekiel 47:23
