Robbery: Robbery has ever been one of the principal employments of the nomad tribes of the East. From the time of Ishmael to the present day the Bedouin has been a "wild man," and a robber by trade. Ge 16:12 The Mosaic law on the subject of theft is contained in Ex 2:2 There seems no reason to suppose that the law underwent any alteration in Solomon's time. Man-stealing was punishable with death. Ex 21:16; De 24:7 Invasion of right in land was strictly forbidden. De 27:17; Isa 5:8; Mic 2:2 |
