A Radical Welcome
Commentators unanimously agree that this verse introduces a radical new principle. Under the Mosaic Law, non-Israelites could not permanently own land. Ezekiel's vision prophesies a future where foreigners who commit to living among God's people are treated as "home-born," receiving a full inheritance and equal status. This was a stunning departure from previous laws.
