'Land' in the Bible

But I tell you in truth that there was many a widow in Israel in the time of Elijah, when there was no rain for three years and six months and there came a severe famine over all the land;

and going on board one of them, which was Simon's He asked him to push out a little from land. Then He sat down and taught the crowd of people from the boat.

Then, after bringing their boats to land, they left everything and followed Him.

"But they all without exception began to excuse themselves. The first told him, "'I have purchased a piece of land, and must of necessity go and look at it. Pray hold me excused.'

Neither for land nor dunghill is it of any use; they throw it away. Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!"

"Alas for the women who at that time are with child or who have infants; for there will be great distress in the land, and anger towards this People.
