Contrasting attitudes to land For many centuries, there have been two main concepts of land in relation to its ownership. In the Bible, 1 Kings 21, we read of an encounter between Ahab and Naboth that illustrates a fundamental contrast in attitudes to land. Ahab, in coveting Naboth’s vineyard, sees land simply as an object or commodity that can be bought and sold: “..... I will give thee the worth of it in money”. But to Naboth, land is not just a tradable commodity: “The Lord forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my father unto thee”. Land to Naboth was an inheritance over which he had stewardship and not something that could simply be bought and sold.
