Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
and my princes: In the predicted period, not only shall the ministers and worshippers of God be liberally provided for, but the princes will be both able and willing to defray the expenses of government, without oppressing their subjects, and will rule over them with equity and clemency, as the vicegerents of God; while the people will submit to them conscientiously, and live in peace, prosperity, and holiness. These things seem to be represented in language taken from the customs of the times in which the prophet wrote. Tithes are not mentioned in part of the vision, which shows that the ritual Mosaic law will not be in force. Ezekiel 19:3, Ezekiel 19:7, Ezekiel 22:27, Ezekiel 46:18, Proverbs 28:16, Isaiah 11:3-5, Isaiah 32:1, Isaiah 32:2, Isaiah 60:17, Isaiah 60:18, Jeremiah 22:17, Jeremiah 23:5, Micah 3:1-4, Zephaniah 3:13, James 2:6, James 5:1-6, Revelation 19:11-16
according: Joshua 11:23
Reciprocal: Joshua 19:49 - gave 1 Samuel 8:9 - the manner Isaiah 1:26 - And I will Ezekiel 44:3 - the prince Ezekiel 48:21 - the residue Zechariah 12:5 - the governors
Gill's Notes on the Bible
In the land shall be his possession in Israel,.... Or, "as for the land, it shall be his for a possession in Israel" a; the people of the land shall be a people for possession, as in 1 Peter 2:9 or a peculiar people of his throughout all Israel; all the spiritual Israel, whether Jew or Gentile, shall be Christ's possession and inheritance:
and my princes shall no more oppress my people; neither ecclesiastical princes, as the Scribes and Pharisees formerly, nor civil magistrates; not the one with false doctrines, carnal rites and ceremonies; nor the other with heavy taxes, and rigorous exactions:
and the rest of the land shall they give to the house of Israel according to their tribes; the spiritual and mystical Israel, Jews and Gentiles, who shall now inherit the earth, and possess all temporal good things, as well as spiritual ones.
a לארץ יהיה ול לאחזה "de terra vel quod attinet ad terram, sive terrae (illud), erit in possessionem in Israel", Starckius.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
On either side of the 25,000 reeds a strip of land, running westward to the sea, eastward to the Jordan, formed the possession of the prince (see Ezekiel 46:18 note). For the other tribes the limits from west to east are the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan Ezekiel 48:8.
Ezekiel 45:7
And the length shall be over against - Or, “and” in length “over against.”
The definition of the prince’s territory was to prevent the oppressions foretold (1 Samuel 8:14 ff), described 2 Kings 23:35, and reproved Jeremiah 22:0.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 45:8. My princes shall no more oppress my people — By exorbitant taxes to maintain profligate courts, or subsidize other powers to help to keep up a system of tyranny in the earth. The former princes even robbed the temple of God to give subsidies to other states.
