Ezekiel 45:7-9

International Standard Version

The Portion for the Regent Prince

⁷ “The Regent Prince is to have a portion^[a] on both sides of the consecrated allotment for the sanctuary and the city’s land allotment, adjacent to both on the west^[b] and the east sides, comparable in length to one of the portions from the west^[c] border to the east border. ⁸ This property in Israel is to belong to the Regent Prince,^[d] so my regent princes will no longer mistreat my nation. The remaining portion of the land is to be allotted to the house of Israel, that is, to its tribes.”

An Exhortation to Honest Business

⁹ “This is what the Lord God says, ‘Enough of you, you regent princes of Israel! Abandon your violence and destruction. Practice what is just and right instead! Stop confiscating property from my people!’ declares the Lord God.
