Deuteronomy 5:18

Context
5:18 You must not commit adultery.

Deuteronomy 5:21

Context
5:21 You must not desire 1  another man’s 2  wife, nor should you crave his 3  house, his field, his male and female servants, his ox, his donkey, or anything else he owns.” 4 

1 tn The Hebrew verb used here (חָמַד, khamad) is different from the one translated “crave” (אָוַה, ’avah) in the next line. The former has sexual overtones (“lust” or the like; cf. Song of Sol 2:3) whereas the latter has more the idea of a desire or craving for material things.

2 tn Heb “your neighbor’s.” See note on the term “fellow man” in v. 19.

3 tn Heb “your neighbor’s.” The pronoun is used in the translation for stylistic reasons.

4 tn Heb “or anything that is your neighbor’s.”
