Exodus 20:17: THE LORD COMMANDS
“You shall not covet your neighbor's house; YOU SHALL NOT COVET YOUR NEIGHBORS WIFE, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's.”

What is the esoteric meaning of this part of the LAW! "isn't this similar to LUST, what's the difference between coveting and LUSTING!
The word "covet" was translated from חמד, which means "to desire" implying wanting to possess. This indicates that the meaning is more broad than lust.

"We need to reduce to ashes the monstrous cruelty of this day and age: envy which has unfortunately become the secret trigger of action, the unbearable covetousness that has made life so bitter..." - Treatise of Revolutionary Psychology
