by ordinance continual and
everlasting.
46:15. He shall offer the lamb, and the sacrifice, and the oil morning
by morning: an everlasting holocaust.
46:16. Thus saith the Lord God: If the prince give a gift to any of his
sons: the inheritance of it shall go to his children, they shall possess
it by inheritance.
46:17. But if he give a legacy out of his inheritance to one of his
servants, it shall be his until the year of release, and it shall return
to the prince: but his inheritance shall go to his sons.
46:18. And the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance by
violence, nor of their possession: but out of his own possession he
