Ezekiel 46:16-18
World English Bible
16 “‘The Lord Yahweh says: “If the prince gives a gift to any of his sons, it is his inheritance. It shall belong to his sons. It is their possession by inheritance. 17 But if he gives of his inheritance a gift to one of his servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince; but as for his inheritance, it shall be for his sons. 18 Moreover the prince shall not take of the people’s inheritance, to thrust them out of their possession. He shall give inheritance to his sons out of his own possession, that my people not each be scattered from his possession.”’”

International Standard Version
Gifts by the Regent Prince
16 “This is what the Lord God says: ‘If the Regent Prince gives a gift to someone,[a] it is to remain with the man’s descendants as their own inheritance. 17 But if he gives a gift to any of his servants, it is to belong to the servant[b] until the Year of Release, at which time it is to be returned to the Regent Prince. His inheritance is to belong only to his sons. 18 The Regent Prince is not to appropriate the nation’s inheritance nor take advantage of them by taking their property from them. Instead, he is to provide an inheritance for his sons from his own possessions so that my people will not be separated from their possessions.’”
