The Bible provides various references to robbers, illustrating both literal and metaphorical uses of the term.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>The Old Testament frequently addresses the issue of theft and robbery, emphasizing the moral and legal prohibitions against such acts. In the Mosaic Law, stealing was explicitly condemned, and restitution was required for those who committed theft (<a href="/exodus/22.htm">Exodus 22:1-4</a>). Robbery was seen as a violation of God's commandments and an affront to the community's well-being.<br><br>The prophets often used the imagery of robbery to describe the spiritual and moral decay of Israel. For example, in <a href="/hosea/6-9.htm">Hosea 6:9</a>, the prophet compares the priests to bands of robbers: "As marauders lie in ambush for a man, so do bands of priests; they murder on the road to Shechem and commit atrocities."<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the term "robber" is used both literally and figuratively. The most notable mention of robbers is in the account of Jesus' crucifixion, where He was crucified between two robbers. <a href="/matthew/27-38.htm">Matthew 27:38</a> states, "Two robbers were crucified with Him, one on His right and the other on His left." This fulfilled the prophecy that the Messiah would be "numbered with the transgressors" (<a href="/isaiah/53-12.htm">Isaiah 53:12</a>).<br><br>The parable of the Good Samaritan, found in <a href="/luke/10-30.htm">Luke 10:30-37</a>, also features robbers. Jesus describes a man who was attacked by robbers, stripped, beaten, and left half-dead. This parable highlights the call to love and show mercy to one's neighbor, contrasting the actions of the robbers with the compassion of the Samaritan.<br><br>In <a href="/john/10.htm">John 10:1</a>, Jesus uses the imagery of a robber to describe false teachers and leaders: "Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber." Here, the term "robber" is used metaphorically to warn against those who seek to harm or exploit the flock of God.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>Robbery, in the biblical sense, is not merely a physical act of theft but also a symbol of spiritual and moral corruption. It represents a heart turned away from God's commandments and a life that seeks personal gain at the expense of others. The Bible consistently calls believers to a life of integrity, honesty, and love for one's neighbor, standing in stark contrast to the actions of a robber.<br><br>The transformation of a sinner, including a robber, is a testament to the power of God's grace. The account of Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector who repented and made restitution, illustrates the possibility of redemption and change (<a href="/luke/19.htm">Luke 19:1-10</a>). This narrative underscores the hope and forgiveness available through Christ, even for those who have lived as robbers.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>n.</I>) One who robs; in law, one who feloniously takes goods or money from the person of another by violence or by putting him in fear.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">ROBBER; ROBBERY</span><p>rob'-er, rob'-er-i: "Robber" represents no particular Hebrew word in the Old Testament, but in the Apocrypha and the New Testament is always a translation of lestes (see THIEF). In the King James Version <a href="/job/5-5.htm">Job 5:5</a>; <a href="/job/18-9.htm">Job 18:9</a>, "robber" stands for the doubtful word tsammim, the Revised Version (British and American) "hungry" in J <a href="/obadiah/5-5.htm">Obadiah 5:5</a> and "snare" in 18:9. The meaning is uncertain, and perhaps tseme'im, "thirsty," should be read in both places. <a href="/psalms/62-10.htm">Psalm 62:10</a>, "Become not vain in robbery," means "put not your trust in riches dishonestly gained." RV's changes of the King James Version in <a href="/proverbs/21-7.htm">Proverbs 21:7</a> <a href="/daniel/11-14.htm">Daniel 11:14</a> <a href="/nahum/3-1.htm">Nahum 3:1</a> are obvious. In <a href="/philippians/2-6.htm">Philippians 2:6</a> the King James Version reads "thought it not robbery to be equal with God." the English Revised Version has "a prize," while the English Revised Version margin and the American Standard Revised Version read "a thing to be grasped," the American Standard Revised Version rewording "counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped." The Greek here is harpagmos, a word derived from harpazo, "to ravish away," "carry off," "plunder" (compare "harpy"). Properly speaking, the termination -mos should give the derived noun an active sense, "the act of plundering," whence the King James Version's "robbery." The verse would then mean "who thought that being on an equality with God did not consist in grasping," and this translation gives good sense in the context and has some excellent scholarly support. But a passive significance is frequently found despite a -mos termination, giving to harpagmos the sense of "thing grasped," as in the Revised Version (British and American). Usually English commentators take "grasped" as meaning "clung to"-"did not think equality with God should be clung to tenaciously"-but "to cling to" seems unknown as a translation of harpazo. Hence, render "a thing to be grasped at"-did not seek equality with God by selfish methods but by humbling himself." It is to be noticed, naturally, that Paul is thinking of "equality with God" simply in the sense of "receiving explicit adoration from men" (<a href="/philippians/2-10.htm">Philippians 2:10, 11</a>), and that the metaphysical relation of the Son to the Father is not at all in point.<br><br>See also <a href="../g/grasp.htm">GRASP</a>.<br><br>Burton Scott Easton<p><a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/3027.htm"><span class="l">3027. lestes -- a <b>robber</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> a <b>robber</b>.
