| to the strangers--It is altogether unprecedented under the old covenant, that "strangers" should have "inheritance" among the tribes. There would not be room locally within Canaan for more than the tribes. The literal sense must therefore be modified, as expressing that Gentiles are not to be excluded from settling among the covenant-people, and that spiritually their privileges are not to be less than those of Israel (Rom 10:12; Gal 3:28; Eph 3:6; Col 3:11; Rev 7:9-10). Still, "sojourneth," in Eze 47:23, implies that in Canaan, the covenant people are regarded as at home, the strangers as settlers. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| And to the strangers - Here is quite a new feature in the distribution of the land. Not only the Israelites by descent, but those who join themselves to Israel by allegiance to the true God, shall have a right of inheritance. Here are opened out the blessings which were to accrue to the Gentiles through the seed of Abraham. Compare Rom 9:24, following. The difference which existed under the old covenant between Jew and Gentile is now at last done away. But while pagandom thus unites itself with God's people, Israel is still as ever the chosen people, the center of this union. No new Church is founded side by side with the old. Pagandom is absorbed in Israel - the standard which God has set up for the nations - i. e., in the One True Church, which has subsisted from the beginning, and will subsist in eternity. |

| Children - Who from their birth should be invested with this right of inheriting. |

| And to the strangers that sojourn - In former divisions of the land, no place was given to strangers; but in this division, (which seems to have no other reference than to the Gospel, for literally such a division never took place), the strangers are to have an inheritance; intimating the calling of the Gentiles into the Church of Christ, to an inheritance that is incorruptible, undefiled, and that fadeth not away. Glory be to God for his unspeakable gift! Amen. Amen. |
23 And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe [07626] the stranger [01616] sojourneth [01481], there shall ye give [05414] him his inheritance [05159], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069].
9 After [3326] this [5023] I beheld [1492], and [2532], lo [2400], a great [4183] multitude [3793], which [3739] no man [3762] could [1410] number [705] [846], of [1537] all [3956] nations [1484], and [2532] kindreds [5443], and [2532] people [2992], and [2532] tongues [1100], stood [2476] before [1799] the throne [2362], and [2532] before [1799] the Lamb [721], clothed [4016] with white [3022] robes [4749], and [2532] palms [5404] in [1722] their [846] hands [5495];
10 And [2532] cried [2896] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], saying [3004], Salvation [4991] to our [2257] God [2316] which [3588] sitteth [2521] upon [1909] the throne [2362], and [2532] unto the Lamb [721].
11 Where [3699] there is [1762] neither [3756] Greek [1672] nor [2532] Jew [2453], circumcision [4061] nor [2532] uncircumcision [203], Barbarian [915], Scythian [4658], bond [1401] nor free [1658]: but [235] Christ [5547] is all [3956], and [2532] in [1722] all [3956].
6 That the Gentiles [1484] should be [1511] fellowheirs [4789], and [2532] of the same body [4954], and [2532] partakers [4830] of his [846] promise [1860] in [1722] Christ [5547] by [1223] the gospel [2098]:
28 There is [1762] neither [3756] Jew [2453] nor [3761] Greek [1672], there is [1762] neither [3756] bond [1401] nor [3761] free [1658], there is [1762] neither [3756] male [730] nor [2532] female [2338]: for [1063] ye [5210] are [2075] all [3956] one [1520] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424].
12 For [1063] there is [2076] no [3756] difference [1293] between [5037] the Jew [2453] and [2532] the Greek [1672]: for [1063] the same [846] Lord [2962] over all [3956] is rich [4147] unto [1519] all [3956] that call upon [1941] him [846].
24 [3739] Even [2532] us [2248], whom [3739] he hath called [2564], not [3756] of [1537] the Jews [2453] only [3440], but [235] also [2532] of [1537] the Gentiles [1484]?
