10(Revised): Don't covet thy neighbors' shit.

10.0.2 fixed coveting of cattle to match other items in coveting domain

10.0.2.1 fixed coveting to close loophole inv. neighbors' wives, daughters, and all other livestock

(for clarity: "holy" books are largely penned by bigoted pedos. full stop.)

but its okay to covet shit if they're not a neighbor, right?

My understanding is "neighbor" is mostly a mistranslation. It's really referring to people within your tribe. Don't fuck with people who are in your group basically, in order to keep the peace. Outsiders are fair game.
