George Leo Haydock, on Ezek 47:14
George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Ezek 47:14 · Douay-Rheims
“And you shall possess it, every man in like manner as his brother: concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for a possession.”
On this verse:
“Brother. The seven tribes to the north have each an equal share, as the five who lay to the south of the Levites had with respect to each other, though their portion must have been only about half of what the former possessed, according to the map, chap. xlv. 1. (Haydock) — Under Josue, the numbers of each tribe were considered. The present mysterious equality shews, perhaps, that there is no distinction of Jew or Gentile in the Church, and that Christ would come to redeem all. (Calmet) — Lifted. People taking an oath acted in this manner. (Menochius)”
