There is a story I think from Chazal somewhere (if somone knows the source please post that there were 2 brothers who inherited neighboring fields, one had a large family and was rich and the other was single and poor. One night the single brother decided that his brother has more mouths to feed and therefore should get even more crops than he already does. He snuck out to the field in the middle of the night and moved some wheat from his pile to his brothers.
His brother had the same idea. I have family and am rich, my brother is not as fortunate. At least let him have some extra crops. So he snuck out to the field and moved some wheat to his brother’s pile. This went on nightly for a long time until one night they both went at the same time and caught each other in the act. They both embraced each other. The place of that embrace became the makom hamikdosh.
A purimdik take on that story which I once heard: Same 2 brothers, one single and poor, one wealthy and has family. One night the single brother decided why should my brother have family and wealth while I have nothing? He snuck out and stole some of his brother’s crops. The wealthy brother similarly thought that while he does have more crops than his brother he also has more mouths to feed, and his brother is getting more than he needs. He too goes out and steals some crops from his brothers pile. One night they end up catching each other in the act and they attack each other and kill each other. The place where that happened became the site where the Israeli Knesset would later be built.
