The Hebrew word for steal is "ganab" (&#1490;&#1504;&#1489;), and the Greek equivalent is "klepto" (&#954;&#955;&#941;&#960;&#964;&#969;). Both terms convey the idea of theft, deceit, and wrongful acquisition.<br><br><b>Biblical References and Context:</b> <br>Stealing is explicitly prohibited in the Bible and is considered a sin against God and one's neighbor. The commandment "You shall not steal" is one of the Ten Commandments given to Moses on Mount Sinai, as recorded in <a href="/exodus/20-15.htm">Exodus 20:15</a> : "You shall not steal." This commandment underscores the importance of respecting others' property and maintaining integrity in one's dealings.<br><br>In <a href="/leviticus/19-11.htm">Leviticus 19:11</a> , the prohibition against stealing is reiterated alongside other ethical commands: "You must not steal. You must not lie or deceive one another." This verse highlights the interconnectedness of theft with other forms of dishonesty and deceit.<br><br>The New Testament also addresses the issue of stealing. In <a href="/ephesians/4-28.htm">Ephesians 4:28</a> , the Apostle Paul instructs believers: "He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing good with his own hands, that he may have something to share with the one in need." This passage not only condemns theft but also encourages productive labor and generosity.<br><br><b>Moral and Theological Implications:</b> <br>Stealing is seen as a violation of God's law and an affront to His character, which is marked by truth and justice. It disrupts the social order and trust within a community, leading to conflict and harm. The act of stealing is often associated with covetousness, as it involves desiring and taking what belongs to another.<br><br>The Bible emphasizes restitution and repentance for those who have stolen. In the Old Testament, the law required a thief to make restitution, often by returning more than what was taken (<a href="/exodus/22.htm">Exodus 22:1-4</a>). This principle underscores the importance of making amends and restoring relationships.<br><br><b>Spiritual Lessons and Applications:</b> <br>The prohibition against stealing serves as a reminder of the value of contentment and trust in God's provision. Believers are called to live honestly and to respect the rights and possessions of others. The transformation of a thief into a generous and hardworking individual, as described in <a href="/ephesians/4-28.htm">Ephesians 4:28</a>, illustrates the power of the Gospel to change hearts and lives.<br><br>Stealing, in its broader sense, can also refer to taking credit for someone else's work, ideas, or achievements. Christians are encouraged to give honor where it is due and to act with integrity in all areas of life.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>The biblical teaching on stealing is clear and unequivocal. It is a sin that not only harms others but also damages one's relationship with God. Through repentance, restitution, and a commitment to honest living, individuals can align themselves with God's will and reflect His righteousness in their lives.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
