“The Holy One, blessed be He, created days, and took to Himself the Sabbath; He created the months, and took to Himself the festivals; He created the years, and chose for Himself the Sabbatical year; He created the Sabbatical years, and chose for Himself the Jubilee year; He created the nations, and chose for Himself Israel…He created the lands, and took to Himself the Land of Israel as a heave-offering from all the other lands, as it is written: ‘The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness therof.” Midrash Tehillim 24:3
