They lived in a frugal society where most people had barely sufficient and even the rich had not much more. A person's assets were described by the number of measures of grain they generated each year. The majority had 200, the well off 300, and the 'rich' had merely 500 - compare this with the spread of wealth today. So in their general dislike of excesses of all sorts, greed was a major source of dislike and contempt.
