This is one of the Ten Commandments from The Bible. It means you should not envy your neighbour for what he has. It doesn't mean to not steal what is not your property--that's a different commandment. ("Thou shalt not steal" in the KJV translation)
You shouldn't desire the things that belong to others. Don't be jealous!it sort of means you shall not steal from them
The tenth commandment is: You shall not covet your neighbour's house; you shall not covet your neighbour's wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbour.
You shall not covet your neighbours wife. Means you shall not have a desire to have her even in lust.
The ten commandments which are: I am the LORD your God, you shall have no other gods before me. You shall not take the Name of the LORD your God in vain. Keep holy the Sabbath day. Honor your father and your mother. You shall not kill. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife. You shall not covet your neighbor's goods. Christians practice reading the Bible and applying it to their daily lives.
It is the 10th commandment. It's meaning is that you should not look at anything that is your neighbors and desire it to be yours. Covet implies that you are overly concerned with what is your neighbors - that you are obsessed with having what they have. This could lead to you stealing what is theirs' or doing something else amoral in order to obtain what rightfully belongs to them. It also means that you need to be minding your own business and taking care of your own and not being concerned with what others have.
