EXOD477 Coveting, an offshoot or outgrowth of envy, is the only emotion (as opposed to action) outlawed in the Ten Commandments. … While envy refers, among other things to wanting what others have for ourselves, coveting--in the context of the Ten Commandments and the usage of this term in Jewish life--refers to desiring what others have so much that we start scheming to acquire it.
