Day 333. How did God teach Israel to respect the property of others? (2025)

Today is day 333 and we are studying The Eighth Commandment.

333. How did God teach Israel to respect the property of others?

God required restitution when property was stolen or destroyed; and he forbade unjust loans and oppression of the poor. (Exodus 21:33–22:15; Leviticus 25:35–37; Psalm 37:21–22)

We will conclude today by praying The Ayin Stanza of Psalm 119 which is verses 121-128 found on page 436 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
