What does covet your neighbors wife mean?

The Biblical prohibition against coveting is the prohibition against wanting the possessions of another. For covering a wife, it is necessary to understand that until recently a wife was a chattel (a possession) of the husband, not a person. She was lumped in with livestock and other physical possessions. It is assumed that you would be coveting if you just wanted to have sex with her, not own her.Interestingly the Christian god has not bothered to impose the "no coveting" restriction on wives that lust after other women's husbands.

What is the meaning of 'You shall not covet your neighbor's wife nor goods'?

AnswerEarly Hebrew society was intensely patriarchal, so the Ten Commandments were written for men, not for women. Adultery with another man's wife was proscribed, but there was no prohibition on a married man having sex with a single woman or a widow. The commandment did not prohibit an available woman from coveting another woman's husband, although, as in all societies, a girl's virginity was important if she wished to marry well. In the Old Testament, a neighbour was a fellow-Hebrew. So coveting or desiring a gentile's wife or goods was not proscribed.


Why is coveting evil?
