9099. 'When a man steals an ox or a member of the flock' means whoever takes away from someone his good, exterior or interior. This is clear from the meaning of 'stealing' as taking away from someone his spiritual possessions or goods, dealt with in 5135, 8906; from the meaning of 'an ox' as an affection for good in the natural, thus exterior good, dealt with in 2180, 2566, 2781, 2830, 5913, 8937; and from the meaning of 'a member of the flock' as interior good. For members of the flock mean forms of interior good, and members of the herd forms of exterior good, 2566, 5913, 6048, 8937.
