325. THE NINTH AND TENTH COMMANDMENTS
You are not to covet your neighbour's house, you are not to covet your neighbour's wife, nor his man-servant nor his maid-servant, nor his ox nor his ass, nor anything that is your neighbour's.
In the Catechism 1 in general use today this passage is divided into two commandments. One, the ninth, is 'You are not to covet your neighbour's house'; the other, the tenth, is 'You are not to covet your neighbour's wife, nor his man-servant nor his maid-servant, nor his ox nor his ass, nor anything that is your neighbour's.' Since these two commandments make a single whole and occupy one verse (Exodus 20:17 and Deuteronomy 5:21), I have chosen to treat them together. This, however, is not because I would like to have them coupled to form a single commandment, but I intend them to be divided into two in the usual way, since they are all called together the Ten Words (Exodus 34:28; Deuteronomy 4:13; 10:4).
