¹⁶ The Lord God saith these things, If the prince giveth an house to any of his sons, the heritage of him shall be of his sons; they shall wield it by heritage. (The Lord God saith these things, If the prince giveth a house to any of his sons, its inheritance shall be for his sons; yea, they shall get it by inheritance.)

¹⁷ Forsooth if he giveth a bequest of his heritage to one of his servants, it shall be his till to the year of remission, and it shall turn again to the prince; forsooth the heritage of him shall be to his sons. (But if he giveth a bequest of his inheritance, that is, a gift of his estate, to one of his servants, or to one of his slaves, it shall be his only until the Year of Remission, or the Year of Restoration, and then it shall return to the prince; for his inheritance, or his estate, shall only be for his sons.)

¹⁸ And the prince shall not take by violence of the heritage of the people, and of the possession of them; but of his own possession he shall give heritage to his sons, that my people be not scattered, each man from his possession. (And the prince shall not take by violence any of the people’s inheritance, or any of their possessions; but out of his own possessions he shall give an inheritance to his sons, so that my people be not scattered, each person from his own possession.)
