Protecting private property

Abundance comes of the ability to store. The problem of property comes of that ability, which is the meaning of Egypt. Egypt effected the building of storehouses on the economic order of the nation and the people. 

The problem of abundance without storage leads to the immediate sharing of the surplus with the kith and kin of the group, whereas the problem of abundance with storage leads to the development of the state apparatus for the sake (1) of protecting private property, and (2) extending private property to include first the essentials of life (earth, water, wind, fire), and then the control of life itself (servitude). 

To put the essentials into God's safekeeping is to guarantee that the allocation of those essentials will not come to depend on the vagaries of storage technology and of private property. God's sabbaticals are a limit on the economic power of the state, or on the economic power the state is readily willing to enable some members of society to amass. 

The quintessence is k'neged the other four elements. These five elements are important for explaining the material basis not of the physical universe but the material basis of the social and spiritual universes.
