Commentaries on Exodus 20:15
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 15Thou shalt not steal - All rapine and theft are forbidden by this precept; as well national and commercial wrongs as petty larceny, highway robberies, and private stealing: even the taking advantage of a seller's or buyer's ignorance, to give the one less and make the other pay more for a commodity than its worth, is a breach of this sacred law. All withholding of rights and doing of wrongs are against the spirit of it. But the word is principally…Read the comment

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 15Stealing shows an attitude that says, “I have the right to take what I want.” It ignores whether something belongs to someone else or whether it was earned honestly. This command teaches the opposite attitude. It teaches respect for other people and for what belongs to them. From God’s point of view, this command shows that he values each person. God cares not only about our lives but also about the things that belong to us.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-261. And God spake all these words--The Divine Being Himself was the speaker (De 5:12, 32, 33), in tones so loud as to be heard--so distinct as to be intelligible by the whole multitude standing in the valleys below, amid the most appalling phenomena of agitated nature. Had He been simply addressing rational and intelligent creatures, He would have spoken with the still small voice of persuasion and love. But He was speaking to those who were at the same…Read the comment
