Ezekiel 45:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ “‘The ·ruler [prince] will have land on both sides of the holy ·area [allotment; contribution] and the city. On the west of the holy area, his land will reach to the eastern border [^Capparently the Mediterranean Sea]. On the east of the holy area, his land will reach to the eastern border [^Cof the country]. It will be as long as the land given to each tribe. ⁸ Only this land will be the ruler’s ·property [possession] in Israel. So my rulers will not ·be cruel to [oppress] my people anymore [^Csuch a large portion would keep the king from wanting to seize land, as Ahab had done (1 Kin. 21); see v. 9], but they will let each tribe in the ·nation [^Lhouse] of Israel have its share of the land.

⁹ “‘This is what the Lord God says: ·You have gone far enough [Enough!], you ·rulers [princes] of Israel! Stop ·being cruel and hurting people [your violence and oppression], and do what is right and ·fair [just]. Stop ·forcing my people out of their homes [evicting my people], says the Lord God.
