But if he gives a legacy from his own inheritance to one of his servants, it shall belong to him until the year of release (for which Theodotius put the Hebrew word 'Deror'), but it shall return to the prince; however, the inheritance shall belong to his son. Thus far the discourse is concerning the prince, now precepts are given concerning his heirs: indeed concerning gifts, inheritance, and legacies, to whom he ought to give them, and whose possession is either for a time, or eternal. If, says he, he shall give a gift or inheritance to his sons, they shall possess it: because it is due to them by the right of succession, and possession cannot pass from one to another. But if he has given any of his servants as a legatee, he shall possess them as long as the remission year, which is called the Year of Release (), or the jubilee, which is the fiftieth year, comes: when all sales and gifts revert to the previous owners: so that the servant has the use for a time, and the ownership of the possession of the prince's sons.<br/><i>— Commentary on Ezekiel</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"b698581c4d7972730c3204556581a9db70757d75a7af6a3c9fe2f0591c7ea6e0","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":5200,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"5e63d3d80ac44e7f006c709285e8cc08c5e80ad058bf282d26268b7a68351528","translator":null,"work":null}
