In the Hebrew bible Jakob has 12 sons, two of them are Issacha and Zebulun. Issacha studied and Zebulun was a trader. The commentaries write that they had a partnership where Zebulun provided for Issacha so that he could study freely.
On YouTube and other social media platforms we have patreon where people can patronise their favourite content creator but really the content creator has to make a show and a good one in order to convince people to get paid.
Kings would patronise artists, scientists, philosophers etc., but they did so for their own prestige.
With Issacha and Zebulun, Zebulun doesn't need to get benefit in order to support Issacha, he does it because he sees the value in what Issacha does.
I propose we have a culture where people who have means support other people who have someone that is valuable to society purely to help those people and to help society without needing something in return. I don't mean they shouldn't get any benefit but they should do it primarily because they have extra and the other who is benefiting society doesn't have enough.
I would like to see a world where we are not just individuals, companies and countries but communities are healthy enough and have a strong enough identity that they can function as a whole. And maybe this might work not just as individuals but for whole communities, where one community that makes a lot of money can support another community that can't make enough money but benefits society.

The is interesting, where it reflects how God told in the Bible to help each other and build a good community and have a healthy lifestyle and make a better place for the mankind.
I believe the Bible is a very intelligent book given by God for the mankind to be thoroughly perfect in all his ways and have a good relationship with Him .
