If you buy a house in New York, it's still in New York. When America bought Alaska in 1867, they didn't just buy land — they bought the right to govern it.

This week's parsha records a deal just like that. Avraham Avinu already had land. So why did the whole Chitti government have to approve one field?

Watch through to the end.
