Acts 4:37

having. field, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet.

'HAVING. FIELD'-We aren't told whether this field existed in Palestine or on the island of Cyprus. McGarvey notes, 'Inasmuch as the law of Moses made no appropriation of lands for the tribe of Levi, but provided that it should be supported by the tithes from the other tribes, some surprise has been expressed that this Levite was the owner of real estate. But it should be remembered that the original allotment of certain lands to certain tribes, and certain cities to the Levites, had been completely broken up by the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities..This state of things left the Levites to shift for themselves to. great extent, and there was no law, nor had there ever been, to prevent them from acquiring individual landed possessions.' (pp. 81-82)
