It is not a large piece of land. Interpretation: The psalms say God remembers people even when they are low. Proverbs warns that wealth gained too quickly will not be blessed, and tradition reads this as a call for honest gain. In the primary lessons: In stories, rich families live on country estates with gardens and servants. In everyday life people live on housing estates and talk to estate agents when moving house. In maths, a will may share an estate into parts (fractions) among relatives. Phrases: housing estate, country estate, real estate, estate agent, estate car. ### examples - Who remembered us in our low estate, for His mercy endureth for ever; (Writings PSA.136.23, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/E/estate/#x1) - An estate may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.
