^7 (A)“The prince shall have a section on one side and the other of the holy district and the city’s property; and bordering on the holy district and the city’s property, extending westward on the west side and eastward on the east side, the length shall be side by side with one of the tribal portions, from the west border to the east border.

^21 (A)“The rest shall belong to the prince, on one side and on the other of the holy district and of the city’s property, next to the twenty-five thousand cubits of the holy district as far as the eastern border, and westward next to the twenty-five thousand as far as the western border, adjacent to the tribal portions; it shall belong to the prince. It shall be the holy district, ^(B)and the sanctuary of the ^[a]temple shall be in the center.

The Prince and Inheritance Laws

¹⁶ ‘Thus says the Lord God: “If the prince gives a gift of some of his inheritance to any of his sons, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance. ¹⁷ But if he gives a gift of some of his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his until ^(A)the year of liberty, after which it shall return to the prince. But his inheritance shall belong to his sons; it shall become theirs. ¹⁸ Moreover ^(B)the prince shall not take any of the people’s inheritance by evicting them from their property; he shall provide an inheritance for his sons from his own property, so that none of My people may be scattered from his property.” ’ ”

^24 (A)“David My servant shall be king over them, and ^(B)they shall all have one shepherd; ^(C)they shall also walk in My judgments and observe My statutes, and do them.

²⁴ And ^(A)I, the Lord, will be their God, and My servant David ^(B)a prince among them; I, the Lord, have spoken.

³² He will be great, ^(A)and will be called the Son of the Highest; and ^(B)the Lord God will give Him the ^(C)throne of His ^(D)father David. ^33 (E)And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”
