You Shall Love the LORD You Shall Love Your Neighbor
You shall have no other gods before Me You shall make no graven images You shall not take God's name in vain Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy Honor your father and mother You shall not murder You shall not commit adultery You shall not steal You shall not bear false witness You shall not covet your neighbors possessions

You shall not steal

Theft:  Lost property is to be taken care of and returned to the rightful owner.
     

Primary Verses:

  1. Exodus 23:4

    • "If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again."

  2. Deuteronomy 22:1-3

    • "Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother.  And if thy brother be not nigh unto thee, or if thou know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to him again.  In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother's, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself."
