Thus saith the Lord God; If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons’; it shall be their possession by inheritance.

17

But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty; after it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons’ for them.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Literal Fulfillment

This verse describes a legal or customary practice regarding inheritance within a specific social structure, not a prophetic event. It outlines a rule for property transfer rather than foretelling a future occurrence.

Prophetic Methods of Communication

The verse describes a legal or customary practice regarding inheritance from a prince to his sons, and makes no mention of God communicating revelation to prophets through any specific means.
