Jesus said to his disciples:

“The Kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field,

which a person finds and hides again,

and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field."

MATTHEW 13:36-43

Buy means to acquire the possession of, or the right to, by paying or promising to pay an equivalent, especially in money; purchase, to acquire by exchange or concession. The word originated before 1000; Middle English byen, variant of byggen, buggen, Old English bycgan; cognate with Old Saxon buggjan,Gothic bugjan to buy, Old Norse byggja to lend, rent (Dictionary.com)

Sell means to transfer (goods) to or render (services) for another in exchange for money; dispose of to a purchaser for a price, to deal in; keep or offer for sale. First recorded before 900; Middle English sellen, Old English sellan, originally, “to give,” hence, “to give up (someone) to an enemy, betray, exchange for money”; cognate with Old Norse selja, Low German sellen, Gothic saljan “to give up, sell,” originally, “to cause to take”; akin to Greek heleîn “to take, grasp” (Dictionary.com)

Buy/Sell means the act of exchanging an asset for money or vice versa. Buying is acquiring an asset in exchange for money, while selling is giving away an asset to receive money. Buying and selling can be done for various reasons, such as hoping to make a profit, avoiding a loss, or satisfying a need. (embibe.com, capital.com)

My son, keep My words and treasure My commandments within you (Proverbs 7:11). Buy truth, and do not sell it, get wisdom, instruction, and understanding (Proverbs 23:23). He will be the stability of your times, a wealth of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; The fear of the LORD is His treasure (Isaiah 33:6).

Jesus said, "for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also (Matthew 6:21). The good person brings out of his good treasure good things (Matthew 12:35). If you want to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me (Matthew 19:21). A disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a head of a household, who brings out of his treasure new things and old” (Matthew 13:52).

The Lord Brought Me Back

Then he brought me back to the door of the temple; and behold, water was issuing from below the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east); and the water was flowing down from below the south end of the threshold of the temple, south of the altar.

Then he brought me out by way of the north gate, and led me round on the outside to the outer gate, that faces toward the east; and the water was coming out on the south side.

And he said to me, "This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah; and when it enters the stagnant waters of the sea, the water will become fresh.

And wherever the river goes every living creature which swarms will live, and there will be very many fish; for this water goes there, that the waters of the sea may become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes.

And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing."

-- Ezekiel 47: 1 - 2, 8 - 9, 12
