The last of the ten commandments is "You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor." This means that we should respect the property of others, and should not yearn for or attempt to steal others' possessions. As is the case with all ten of the commandments, we should remember that this commandment was only meant to govern the people of Israel. It was meant to be taken literally. It was not, as some Christian churches believe, meant to be a deeper, broader commandment for our lives that transcends to all cultures and time periods. Thus, the last commandment means only that the ancient Israelites should not long to own what is owned by others, seeing as disputes over properties can undermine the continuity of a culture. It is just another measure that the Israelites took to keep their society from falling apart.
