Land Roles Original Proprietor
Land roles original After Abram and Lot had gone their separate ways, the Lord said to Abram: Look around to the north, south, east, and west. I will give you and your family all the land you can see. It will be theirs forever! I will give you more descendants than there are specks of dust on the earth, and someday it will be easier to count the specks of dust than to count your
descendants. Now walk back and forth across the land, because I am giving it to you.

since you are his closest relative and have the right to buy the property.
If you want it, you can buy it now.
These ten men and the others standing here can be witnesses. But if you dont want the property, let me know, because I am next in line. The man replied, I will buy it! If you do buy it from Naomi, Boaz told him, you must also marry Ruth. Then if you have a son by her, the property will stay in the family of Ruths first husband.
The man answered, If thats the case, I dont want to buy it! That would make problems
with the property I already own.
You may buy it yourself, because I cannot. To make a sale legal in those days, one person would take off a sandal and give it to the other. Land roles original So after the man had agreed to let Boaz buy the property, he took off one of his sandals and handed it to Boaz.

land roles original Jesus told the chief priests and leaders to listen to this story: A land owner once planted a vineyard. He built a wall around it and dug a pit to crush the grapes in.

the renters grabbed those servants. They beat up one, killed one, and stoned one of them to death. He then sent more servants than he did the first time. But the renters treated them in the same way. Finally, the owner sent his own son to the renters, because he thought they would respect him. But when they saw the mans son, they said, Someday he will own the vineyard. Lets kill him! Then
we can have it all for ourselves. So they grabbed him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. Jesus asked, Land roles originalWhen the owner of that vineyard comes, what do you suppose he will do to those renters?

answered, He will kill them in some horrible way. Land roles original Then he will rent out his vineyard to people who will give him his share of grapes at harvest time.

They beat him up and sent him away without a thing. The owner sent another servant, but the renters beat him on the head and insulted him terribly. Then the man sent another servant, and they killed him. He kept sending servant after servant.

Then they threw his body out of the vineyard. Land

What do you think the owner of the vineyard will do? He will come and kill those renters and let someone else have his vineyard.

They insulted him terribly and sent him away without a thing. The owner sent a third servant. He was also beaten terribly and thrown out of the vineyard. The owner then said to himself, What am I going to do? I
know what. Ill send my son, the one I love so much. They will surely respect him! When the renters saw the owners son, they said to one another, Someday he will own the vineyard. Lets kill him! Then we can have it all for ourselves. So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. Land roles original Jesus asked, What do you think the owner of the vineyard will
do? Ill tell you what. He will come and kill those renters and let someone else have his vineyard.
