Stealing Money, Stealing One's Soul

Anyone who robs another of an item worth a peruta
is considered as though he takes his soul from him,

So are the ways of every one that is greedy for profit. It takes away the life of the owner thereof.

And they shall consume your harvest, and your bread, they shall consume your sons and your daughters.

Since they will consume the harvest and bread,
it is as though they consume one’s children as well
because there will be no food to feed them.
