Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 47:22

"And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you and to the strangers that sojourn among you, who shall beget children among you; and they shall be unto you as the home-born among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel." — Ezekiel 47:22 (ASV)

By lot. See Note on Ezekiel 45:1.

To the strangers. An entirely new feature is here added to the Mosaic law. According to Leviticus 19:34, strangers were to be treated with kindness, but the entire territory was to be divided among the Israelites, and strangers could therefore acquire no land except insofar as they might purchase a temporary right between the years of Jubilee. Now, however, those of them who shall beget children among you, thus showing a disposition to permanent residence, are to receive an inheritance along with the tribes and in the portion of that tribe where they may have chosen to fix their residence. This privilege is absolute, without any condition of receiving circumcision.
