16 The master Yahweh says this: If the leader gives a gift to any of his sons, it becomes his inheritance, i.e., it will become the property of his sons because it’s an inheritance. 17 But if he gives a gift from his inheritance to one of his servants, then it will belong to that servant until the year of liberty, and then it will return to the leader. His inheritance must definitely be for his own sons.[ref] 18 The leader mustn’t take the people’s inheritance away from their own property—he must provide for his sons from his own property so that my people will not be forced off their own inherited land.”
