Stealing possessions from others is an obvious application of this commandment but it probably extends to a lot of areas. There have been recent examples of well known celebrities / authors who have been accused of plagiarism or saying wise comments that have been taken from someone else. But maybe it includes taking credit for the work of those under one’s authority, or taking credit for the collective work of a group. One of my pet pieces work g with adults is the boss saying he had a creative solution to a problem when one of his hired teachers had the original idea. The list of applications could go on, but God wants us to respect His order and not try to take control.
