21 When I got to see+ among the spoil an official garment from Shiʹnar,+ a good-looking one, and two hundred shekels* of silver and one gold bar, fifty shekels being its weight, then I wanted them,+ and I took them;+ and, look! they are hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent with the money* underneath it.”*+

2 And they have desired fields and have seized [them];+ also houses, and have taken [them]; and they have defrauded an able-bodied man* and his household,+ a man* and his hereditary possession.+

15 Then he said to them: “Keep YOUR eyes open and guard against every sort of covetousness,+ because even when a person has an abundance his life does not result from the things he possesses.”+

7 What, then, shall we say? Is the Law sin?+ Never may that become so! Really I would not have come to know sin+ if it had not been for the Law; and, for example, I would not have known covetousness+ if the Law had not said: “You must* not covet.”+
