Berean Standard Bible

“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, or his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.””

Exodus 20:17

Save as image

Study note

The tenth commandment closes the Ten Commandments and differs from the others because it deals with the inner life rather than outward action. It names the neighbor's house, spouse, servants and property as things not to be craved.
