This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





In the land; either in that portion of land set out for him, or, as it is added, in Israel, i.e. in the land of Israel.



My princes; who own my favour in their advancement, and my law in their government. All princes are in some sort God’s princes, but all do not regard God as sovereign Lord of them and their people; but God did raise up such at the return out of Babylon, who were and did recognise themselves God’s princes.



Shall no more oppress: both Ezekiel and other prophets did reprove the injustices, cruelties, and oppressive methods of the kings of Israel, and yet they took not off the yoke; but it shall be better after the days of Babylonish captivity are ended.



The rest; after God had his portion, which was that the priests and Levites had, after the city and the prince have theirs, the remainder is to be given to the people.



They; the persons that are officers appointed to divide the land.



The house of Israel; two tribes and ten tribes.



According to their tribes, to the number of the tribes, and their right; we must be restored to them, or they compensated with an equal value.
