Why was the land viewed in this way?

Lévitique 25:23 (NEG79)

23 Les terres ne se vendront point à perpétuité; car le pays est à moi, car vous êtes chez moi comme étrangers et comme habitants.

The Hebrews treated the land in this way because the land itself belonged to the Lord. They were given the use of the land by God's goodness and mercy. As such, they were called to be stewards and caretakers of God’s land.
