46:17 But if he shall give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the {c} year of liberty; afterward it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be to his sons for them.
(c) Which was at the Jubile, Le 25:9.
46:17 His inheritance - Whatever lands of the prince are given to servants, shall at the year of Jubilee revert to the sons of the prince. For them - And to theirs after them.
46:1-24 The ordinances of worship for the prince and for the people, are here described, and the gifts the prince may bestow on his sons and servants. Our Lord has directed us to do many duties, but he has also left many things to our choice, that those who delight in his commandments may abound therein to his glory, without entangling their own consciences, or prescribing rules unfit for others; but we must never omit our daily worship, nor neglect to apply the sacrifice of the Lamb of God to our souls, for pardon, peace, and salvation.
