Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Eze 47:14 - One as well as another // Concerning the which I lifted up mine hand // Unto your fathers // Shall fall // Unto you

One as well as another by equal right, each tribe and each family shall inherit their assigned portion, by right of children descended from a father whose it was by letters patent from heaven.

Concerning the which I lifted up mine hand which by oath I bound myself, saith God, to give to you. See this form of oath Eze 20:5 36:7 .

Unto your fathers first to Abraham, Gen 13:15 15:18 ; next to Isaac, Gen 26:3 ; next to Jacob, Gen 28:13 ; and all three are frequently mentioned, as those to whom the Lord sware in this thing, Exo 33:1 Deu 1:8 6:10 , &c.

Shall fall so we speak of the inheritance which is sure and firm by indefeasible right, and comes into actual possession; it may also refer to the dividing by lot, which God will guide, that each may have their own.

Unto you returned captives, who were carried away and used as if nothing were your own, and as if you never should have any thing; but in their sight you shall inherit.

Haydock: Eze 47:14 - Brother // Lifted

Brother. The seven tribes to the north have each an equal share, as the five who lay to the south of the Levites had with respect to each other, though their portion must have been only about half of what the former possessed, according to the map, chap. xlv. 1. (Haydock) ---

Under Josue, the numbers of each tribe were considered. The present mysterious equality shews, perhaps, that there is no distinction of Jew or Gentile in the Church, and that Christ would come to redeem all. (Calmet) ---

Lifted. People taking an oath acted in this manner. (Menochius)

Gill: Eze 47:14 - And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another // concerning the which I lifted up my hand to give it unto your fathers // and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance

And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another,.... That is, the twelve tribes shall equally inherit it; one tribe shall not have more, and another less, but each alike: this was not the case, at the division of the land, in the times of Moses and Joshua; for to such tribes as were very numerous a greater inheritance was given; and to those that were fewer in number a lesser inheritance, Num 26:54, and upon the return from the Babylonish captivity, as the tribes of Judah and Benjamin were the largest, and indeed the only tribes that returned as such, they had the share of the land; but as this respects the dispensation, it signifies, that those who are true Israelites indeed shall share in the same Gospel church state, the privileges and immunities of it alike, with all the blessings of grace and eternal glory; they being all one in Christ Jesus, Gal 3:28,

concerning the which I lifted up my hand to give it unto your fathers; that is, swore that he would give unto them the land of Canaan; typical of the Gospel church state and the heavenly glory; which are as sure to all the seed, by the word and oath of God, as that was:

and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance; by lot, by the appointment of God, and a goodly one it is, Psa 16:6.
