And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an
inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you,
which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as
born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have
inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. And it shall come
to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye
give him his inheritance, saith the Lord God (verses 22-23).
Here is a provision for the strangers. They are no longer to be treated
as outcasts, as aliens from the commonwealth of Israel; they are seen
fully identified with Israel and share the inheritance. This again
confirms other prophecies (See Isaiah lx:1-10.) The strangers shall come
and build the walls, and join themselves to Israel. The singing times
for Israel have come. No longer will the chosen people be the tail of
nations, but the head of all nations. "Sing and rejoice, O daughter of
Zion, for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the
Lord. And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day and shall
be my people, and I will dwell in the midst of thee."... (Zech.
ii:10-12). No longer will the Jew be despised, but the strangers, the
nations, will beseech him to take them to the glory land. "Thus saith
the Lord of hosts, In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men out
of all languages of the nations shall take hold, even shall take hold of
the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, for we have
heard that God is with you" (Zech. viii:23).
