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

Yahweh Cuts a Covenant

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

¹⁶ ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “If the prince gives a ^(A)gift out 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 from his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his until the ^(B)year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince. His inheritance shall be only his sons’; it shall belong to them. ¹⁸ Now the prince shall ^(C)not take from the people’s inheritance, ^(D)mistreating them out of their possession; he shall give his sons inheritance from his own possession so that My people will not be scattered, anyone from his possession.”’”

²¹ “And the ^(A)remainder shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy contribution and of the city’s possession of land; in front of the 25,000 cubits of the contribution toward the east border and westward in front of the 25,000 toward the west border, alongside the portions, it shall be for the prince. And the holy contribution and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the middle of it.
