3 out of the 10 talk about things you can’t covet, so it appears as if coveting gets you put on the naughty list faster than just about anything.

You can’t covet your neighbor’s house, or your neighbor’s ass, or your neighbor’s slaves, or your neighbor’s wife.

Kinda interesting how coveting is such an egregious sin, but owning other people and regarding women as property is endorsed.

Probably a good reason not to get your morals from stone age nomadic sheep herders.
