Laws about the Ruler's Land
16 The Lord God said:
If the ruler of Israel gives some of his land to one of his children, it will belong to the ruler's child as part of the family property. 17 (A) But if the ruler gives some of his land to one of his servants, the land will belong to the servant until the Year of Celebration, when it will be returned to the ruler.[a] Only the ruler's children can keep what is given to them.

16 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: If the prince makes a gift from his inheritance to one of his sons, it will also belong to his descendants; it is to be their property by inheritance.(C) 17 If, however, he makes a gift from his inheritance to one of his servants, the servant may keep it until the year of freedom;(D) then it will revert to the prince. His inheritance belongs to his sons only; it is theirs.
