Joshua 13:14
''Moses did not give any land to the Levi tribe, because the LORD God of Israel had told them, 'Instead of land, you will receive the sacrifices offered at my altar.''' Joshua 13:14
In a non-agricultural society, we often fail to grasp the significance of land ownership in a setting like Ancient Israel. We understand income and wealth in regards to employment, business ownership, investments, royalties, and other financial instruments. We tend to grasp the concept of home ownership as an aspect of wealth, but that is not what is in play in this passage.

Mark 2:27
''Jesus finished by saying, 'People were not made for the good of the Sabbath. The Sabbath was made for the good of the people.''' Mark 2:27
I remember being told as pastor of a church in rural Virginia that I should not mow the grass on Sunday afternoon. Some people would consider it work, and would be upset that the pastor of the church was mowing on a Sunday.
