From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Farm
      (Matt. 22:5). Every Hebrew had a certain portion of land
      assigned to him as a possession (Num. 26:33-56). In Egypt the
      lands all belonged to the king, and the husbandmen were obliged
      to give him a fifth part of the produce; so in Palestine Jehovah
      was the sole possessor of the soil, and the people held it by
      direct tenure from him. By the enactment of Moses, the Hebrews
      paid a tithe of the produce to Jehovah, which was assigned to
      the priesthood. Military service when required was also to be
      rendered by every Hebrew at his own expense. The occuptaion of a
      husbandman was held in high honour (1 Sam. 11:5-7; 1 Kings
      19:19; 2 Chr. 26:10). (See LAND LAWS ¯(n/a); {TITHE}.)
