Context — The Prince’s Offerings
14You are also to provide with it every morning a grain offering of a sixth of an ephah with a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour—a grain offering to the LORD. This is a permanent statute.
15Thus they shall provide the lamb, the grain offering, and the oil every morning as a regular burnt offering.’
16This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘If the prince gives a gift to any of his sons as an inheritance, it will belong to his descendants. It will become their property by inheritance.
17But if he gives a gift from his inheritance to one of his servants, it will belong to that servant until the year of freedom; then it will revert to the prince. His inheritance belongs only to his sons; it shall be theirs. 18The prince must not take any of the inheritance of the people by evicting them from their property. He is to provide an inheritance for his sons from his own property, so that none of My people will be displaced from his property.’”Cross References

Ezekiel 46:16 Summary
In Ezekiel 46:16, God is explaining how the prince can give gifts to his sons, which will then belong to them forever. This is similar to how God gives us spiritual gifts and blessings that are ours to keep, as seen in Romans 11:29 and 1 Corinthians 12:4-11. Just like the prince's sons receive a permanent inheritance, we can trust that God's gifts to us are also eternal and unchanging, as promised in James 1:17 and Hebrews 13:8. By understanding this concept of inheritance, we can better appreciate God's love and provision for us.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for the prince to give a gift to his sons as an inheritance in Ezekiel 46:16?
This refers to the prince's ability to bestow property or wealth to his descendants, which will then become their permanent possession, as stated in Ezekiel 46:16. This is similar to how God gave the Promised Land to the Israelites as an eternal inheritance, as seen in Deuteronomy 1:8.
How does this verse relate to the concept of inheritance in the Bible?
Inheritance in the Bible often refers to the passing down of property, blessings, or spiritual heritage from one generation to the next, as seen in Psalm 37:18 and Genesis 17:8. In Ezekiel 46:16, the prince's gift to his sons serves as a earthly example of this concept.
What is the significance of the phrase 'it will become their property by inheritance' in this verse?
This phrase emphasizes that the gift given by the prince will become a permanent and irrevocable part of the sons' property, much like the eternal inheritance that God has prepared for His children, as stated in Romans 8:17 and 1 Peter 1:4.
How does this verse fit into the larger context of Ezekiel 46?
Ezekiel 46:16 is part of a larger discussion on the responsibilities and privileges of the prince in the restored kingdom, including his role in providing offerings and managing his property, as seen in Ezekiel 46:14-15 and Ezekiel 46:17-18.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I can reflect God's heart of generosity and inheritance in my own life, as seen in Ezekiel 46:16?
- How can I trust God to provide for my own inheritance, whether earthly or spiritual, as promised in Psalm 37:3-4 and Matthew 6:33?
- In what ways can I be a good steward of the gifts and resources that God has given me, as encouraged in 1 Corinthians 4:2 and Matthew 25:14-30?
- What does it mean for me to have an 'eternal inheritance' in Christ, as described in 1 Peter 1:4 and Hebrews 9:15?
Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 46:16
Thus saith the Lord God,.... Having finished the account of the sacrifices of the prince and people, the monthly, weekly, and daily ones; here his gifts are treated of, which are two fold; some given
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 46:16
Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons'; it shall be their possession by inheritance.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 46:16
A gift, of houses or lands. The inheritance thereof, the right to those houses or lands, shall descend to children’ s children; the fee simple shall be to the posterity of that son to whom it was first given. They shall enjoy it, possess it, as heirs possess an inheritance.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 46:16
Ezekiel 46:16 Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons’ ; it [shall be] their possession by inheritance.Ver. 16. If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons.] As Jehoshaphat did cities to every one of his sons; though they long enjoyed them not, through the barbarous cruelty of their elder brother Jehoram. Christ, the Church’ s king, giveth all his children gifts of great price; such as the world can neither give nor take from them, "spiritual blessings in heavenly" things and "places"; yea, he bestoweth himself upon them, and is therefore called "The gift," and "The benefit."
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 46:16
(16) If the prince give a gift.—Ezekiel 46:15-18 contain provisions in regard to the prince’s alienation of his domain. According to Ezekiel 45:7-8, he was to have a portion of land on each side of the “oblation,” which should be sufficiently ample to prevent any attempts on his part at violence and exaction. For the same purpose, it was necessary that this territory should remain inalienably in his family. He might therefore convey any portion of it to his sons in fee simple, for they would naturally inherit it; but a conveyance to any one else came under the Mosaic law (Leviticus 25), and reverted to him or his heirs in the year of Jubile, here called “the year of liberty.”
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 46:16
16–18. Case of the prince alienating any part of his landed property to his sons or servants If given to his sons the gift shall remain with them as their inheritance (Ezekiel 46:16); if given to any of his servants it shall revert to the prince at the year of liberty (Ezekiel 46:17).
Barnes' Notes on Ezekiel 46:16
The prince was robe provided with possessions of his own, in order to prevent exactions from his subjects; further enactments are added to prevent the alienation of the prince’s land.
Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 46:16
16-18. These regulations protecting the sons of the prince prove that Ezekiel thought of him as a civil officer.
