In vv. 1-6 there are many details related to the eighth commandment, forbidding stealing (Exo. 20:15). Stealing signifies that fallen man, like Satan, is not satisfied with God’s sovereign arrangement but tries to make base gain by transgressing God’s regulation (Isa. 14:12-14; cf. 1 Cor. 7:17, 20-24; 1 Tim. 6:6-10).
