Book synopsis

Cults and temples of the ancient world regularly held assets in land, often naming a patron deity as landowner but managing the land themselves and affording it sanctity protections. Such arrangements can provide essential background to the Hebrew Bible's assertion that the Land of Israel is "God's land." They can also shed light on the references in biblical and early Jewish literature to the sacred landholdings of the priesthood or the temple.
