“Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth! they: Heb. ye”
Isaiah 5:8 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 5:8
The first of six woes targets greedy land acquisition—adding 'house to house' and 'field to field' until no space remains. This violates Jubilee principles preserving family inheritance (Leviticus 25). The Hebrew 'lebad' (alone) emphasizes isolation through wealth concentration. Their goal to be 'placed alone in the midst of the earth' reveals prideful self-sufficiency and contempt for community.
