In the landpossession In the land it shall be to him for a possession, lit. in respect of the land. Others: for a domainit shall be …, for a possession. The art. must then be omitted, and the use of "land" in this sense is unnatural.

my princes The language myis unusual. In Ezekiel 45:9, "princes of Israel," and so LXX. here. It is possible that Israel was represented in MS. merely by the initial letter, which is the same as the last letter of "princes" (cons.), and that one of the letters fell out.

the rest of the land Read: oppress my people, but shall give the land to the house. On the oppressions of the princes, cf. Ezekiel 22:25; Jeremiah 22:17.
