Exodus 20:15 You shall not steal. Speaking of the early American prairie settlements, a modern historian says: "Theft was almost unknown; the pioneers brought with them the same rigid notions of honesty which they had previously maintained. A man in Maucoupin County left his waggon, loaded with corn, stuck in the prairie mud for two weeks near a frequented road. When he returned he found some of his corn gone, but there was money enough tied in the sacks to pay for what was taken. Parallel Verses KJV: Thou shalt not steal. |
