This exploration of the Judean priesthood's role in agricultural
cultivation demonstrates that the institutional reach of Second
Temple Judaism (516 BCE-70 CE) went far beyond the confines of its
houses of worship, while exposing an unfamiliar aspect of sacred
place-making in the ancient Jewish experience. Temples of the
ancient world regularly held assets in land, often naming a patron
deity as landowner and affording the land sanctity protections.
Such arrangements can provide essential background to the Hebrew
Bible's assertion that God is the owner of the land of Israel. They
can also shed light on references in early Jewish literature to the
sacred landholdings of the priesthood or the temple.
