What does Ezekiel 33:25-26 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Ezekiel was to address the refugees who had brought the message of Jerusalem"s fall and the other Israelites in the name of their sovereign Lord. Since the Jews did not keep the Mosaic Law (cf. Exodus 20:4-5; Exodus 20:13-14; Leviticus 17:10-14; Leviticus 19:26), did they have a right to possess the land? God had promised the land to Abraham"s descendants, but He had also told them that they could only occupy their land if they obeyed the Law that He had given them (cf. Deuteronomy 27-28; Deuteronomy 29:25-29).
