The Prince and Inheritance Laws

16 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “If the prince gives a gift of some of his inheritance to any of his sons, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance.
17 But if he gives a gift of some of his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his until athe year of liberty, after which it shall return to the prince. But his inheritance shall belong to his sons; it shall become theirs.  
18 Moreover athe prince shall not take any of the people’s inheritance by evicting them from their property; he shall provide an inheritance for his sons from his own property, so that none of My people may be scattered from his property.” ’ ”  

How the Offerings Were Prepared

19 Now he brought me through the entrance, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy achambers of the priests which face toward the north; and there a place was situated at their extreme western end.  
20 And he said to me, “This is the place where the priests shall aboil the trespass offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bbake the grain offering, so that they do not bring them out into the outer court cto sanctify the people.”

Ezekiel 46:16-18

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. Any gifts made to his servants must revert to the prince in the "year of liberty," or jubilee (see the marginal reference note).
