From a purpose perspective, we realise that Individuals should actively demonstrate a sense of purpose in their actions.
Kindness should be extended to others in the same manner that it is received.
The story of the sale of a field containing a cave serves as a primary example of purposeful behavior.
The act of selling land to Abraham where He should bury the dead is presented as a model for human interaction and Ephron the Hittite is identified as a kind individual for facilitating the land transaction.
Genesis 23:4-5[4]I am a stranger and a sojourner with you; give me property for a burial place among you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.[5]And the Hittites replied to Abraham,
Abraham’s status in the land of Canaan was that of a resident alien.

The Teaching emphasizes the importance of being helpful to those who are outsiders or displaced and the social necessity of land ownership for cultural rites.
