Exodus 20:15 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Thou shalt not steal This command forbids us to rob ourselves of what we have, by sinful spending, or of the use and comfort of it, by sinful sparing; and to rob others by invading our neighbour's rights, taking his goods, or house, or field, forcibly or clandestinely, overreaching in bargains, not restoring what is borrowed or found, withholding just debts, rents, or wages; and, which is worst of all, to rob the public in the coin or revenue, or that which is dedicated to the service of religion.

Exodus 20:15

15 Thou shalt not steal.
