Ezekiel 45:9

"In the land it shall be to him for a possession in Israel. My princes shall no more oppress my people, but they shall give the land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.”"

Key Reflection

This verse envisions a future where the leaders of Israel will cease their oppressive practices and instead distribute the promised land justly among the tribes, ensuring that God's people live in accordance with His righteous standards. It symbolizes a time of restoration and justice, reflecting God’s intent for his chosen nation to thrive under fair leadership.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The princes are exhorted to execute judgment, and abstain from “exaction” (literally “ejection”) such as that of Naboth by Ahab1 Kings 21:19.
