Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 47:22

_ _ 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 (Romans 10:12; Galatians 3:28; Ephesians 3:6; Colossians 3:11; Revelation 7:9, Revelation 7:10). Still, “sojourneth,” in Ezekiel 47:23, implies that in Canaan, the covenant people are regarded as at home, the strangers as settlers.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 47:13-23.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 47:22

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

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Ezekiel 47:22

And it shall come to pass, [that] ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be to you as born in the country among the children of Israel; (l) they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

(l) Meaning that in this spiritual kingdom there would be no difference between Jew nor Gentile but that all would be partakers of this inheritance in their head Christ.
