The Tenth Matter- “From the Inside Out”
Exodus 20:17
This tenth matter is unique among the so-called Ten Commandments. The other nine involve specific actions, but this one only addresses our thoughts. In fact, this last of the Ten Matters that Still Matter to God gets at the true “heart” of all ten matters!

Thanks for the insight Keith, this one was worth waiting for. I wonder if the word “covet” was coined to express a special unlawful kind of desire? For instance, if your neighbor’s house has a “for sale” sign out front, he wants you to desire it. But if not for sale, of course you should not desire it. This might not be the only unorthodox English construction used especially to accommodate the Hebrew source document. For example, perhaps, the use of the word “be” rather than “is”, “will be”, or “are”, as in the “Rastafarian” phrase “we be Jammin”. Great way to express an equivalent to the Hebrew imperfect form, denoting both present and future.
