חֲמִשָׁה קִנְיָנִים קָנָה לוֹ הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא בְּעוֹלָמוֹ, וְאֵלּוּ הֵן: תּוֹרָה — קִנְיָן אֶחָד, שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ — קִנְיָן אֶחָד, אַבְרָהָם — קִנְיָן אֶחָד, יִשְׂרָאֵל — קִנְיָן אֶחָד, בֵּית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ — קִנְיָן אֶחָד. תּוֹרָה מִנַּיִן? דִּכְתִיב: ”ה' קָנָנִי רֵאשִׁית דַּרְכּוֹ קֶדֶם מִפְעָלָיו מֵאָז”. שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ מִנַּיִן, דִּכְתִיב: ”כֹּה אָמַר ה' הַשָּׁמַיִם כִּסְאִי וְהָאָרֶץ הֲדֹם רַגְלָי, אֵי־זֶה בַיִת אֲשֶׁר תִּבְנוּ־לִי וְאֵי־זֶה מָקוֹם מְנוּחָתִי”; וְאוֹמֵר: ”מָה־רַבּוּ מַעֲשֶׂיךָ ה' כֻּלָּם בְּחָכְמָה עָשִׂיתָ מָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ קִנְיָנֶךָ”. אַבְרָהָם מִנַּיִן? דִּכְתִיב: ”וַיְבָרְכֵהוּ וַיֹּאמַר בָּרוּךְ אַבְרָם לְאֵל עֶלְיוֹן קוֹנֵה שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ”. יִשְׂרָאֵל מִנַּיִן? דִּכְתִיב: ”עַד־יַעֲבֹר עַמְּךָ ה' עַד־יַעֲבֹר עַם־זוּ קָנִיתָ”; וְאוֹמֵר: ”לִקְדוֹשִׁים אֲשֶׁר־בָּאָרֶץ הֵמָּה וְאַדִּירֵי כָּל־חֶפְצִי־בָם”. בֵּית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ מִנַּיִן? דִּכְתִיב: ”מָכוֹן לְשִׁבְתְּךָ פָּעַלְתָּ ה' מִקְּדָשׁ אֲדֹנָי כּוֹנְנוּ יָדֶיךָ”, וְאוֹמֵר: ”וַיְבִיאֵם אֶל־גְּבוּל קָדְשׁוֹ הַר־זֶה קָנְתָה יְמִינוֹ”.
[There are] five acquisitions [that] the Holy One, Blessed is He, acquired for Himself in His world, and these are they: Torah [is] one acquisition, heaven and earth [are] one acquisition, Abraham [is] one acquisition, Israel [is one] acquisition, [and] the Temple [is] one acquisition. From where [is it known that] Torah [is] one acquisition? For it is written: Hashem made me as the beginning of His way, before His deeds of yore. From where [is it known that] heaven and earth [are] one acquisition? For it is written: Thus said Hashem, “The heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool, what house could you build for Me and what place could be My resting place.” And it states: How abundant are Your works, Hashem; with wisdom You made them all, [they] fill the earth, your acquisition. From where [is it known that] Abraham [is] one acquisition? For it is written: He blessed him saying, “Blessed is Abram of God, the Most High, Maker of Heaven and earth.” From where [is it known that] Israel [is] one acquisition? For it is written: Until Your people passes through, Hashem, until this people You have acquired passes through. And it states: For the sake of the holy ones who are [interred] in the earth, and for the mighty, all my desires are fulfilled because of them. From where [is it known that] the Temple is one acquisition? For it is written: The foundation of your dwelling place that you, Hashem have made —- the Sanctuary, My Lord, that Your hands established. And it states: And He brought them to His sacred boundary, this mountain that His right hand acquired.
