5780. 'What deed is this that you have done?' means that to lay claim to what is not one's own is a gross evil. This is clear from the meaning of 'theft', of which they were accused, as laying claim to truth or good that is the Lord's. This is 'the deed' that is meant in the internal sense. For the nature of this evil, see above in 5749, 5758.
