LAND PURCHASES BY ABRAHAM, JACOB, KING DAVID

LAND PURCHASES MADE BY ABRAHAM, JACOB, and KING DAVID

The Bible highlights the three purchases of land made in Israel that were made by Abraham, Jacob, and King David.

It was foreseen that the time would come when there would be a challenge to Jewish ownership rights in Israel by the nations of the world. Therefore even though God promised Abraham the land would belong to the Jews, a point was made to show the world there were actual purchases of those sections that would later be contentious.

1- Abraham paid for the land in Hebron that would be a burial place for Sarah and himself. Abraham used what was then considered international currency (type of money acceptable anywhere) to symbolically establish a new sovereignty and reality for the status of the land.

2- Jacob paid for land in Shechem to build an altar to God. He used what was then considered international currency making it a sovereign acquisition thus symbolically also establishing a new sovereignty and reality for that parcel of land.

3- King David’s purchase of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem was also done in a manner that made it considered a sovereign ownership of the land.


Today many people who do not believe in the Bible say there is no proof that God even exists and created the world.

Well, the proof is here today in our book ‘WHY HUMAN BEINGS DO NOT NEED BLIND FAITH TO BELIEVE IN CREATIONISM.’ The sync with the story of creation and science is that proof and we hope that you readers of these blogs would not only want to purchase that book but make it a point to tell your family and friends about it and they should pass the message on in a similar manner.
