Robbery


G-d said to Noah: 'The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with robbery through them.' " (Genesis 6:13)

"Divine sentence was finally passed upon them, only as a result, of their robbery." (Rashi).

"The prohibition against desiring another's property, applies to all times, in all places; to both men and women; and to all mankind.

This is so because, it is a part of the prohibition against stealing, which is one of the Seven Laws, that all mankind is to observe.

Since mankind are commanded concerning Theft, they are also commanded, concerning the deterrents to its transgression.
