Decalogue, part 10 (Deuteronomy 24:17-26:15)
Scripture: Deuteronomy 24:17-26:16 (especially 24:17-22)
We are moving through Moses' delivery of the Law to Israel just before they finally enter the promised land. Each section generally corresponds to one of the Ten Commandments, in order, and today we've finally come to the section related to #10:
You shall not covet. (The complete text: "You shall not covet your neighbor's wife. You shall not set your desire on your neighbor's wife or land, his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.")
