Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 182 Part 1/3

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

The Kitzur says urging an owner until he sells violates you shall not covet, and planning in the heart how to get the object violates the ban on desiring. The Ibn Ezra asks how the Torah can forbid a desire, and one answer offered is that a village man never desires to marry the king's daughter.

Key points

• The Kitzur forbids stealing even as a joke or meaning to give it back.
• When the robbery victim has died, the Kitzur has the restitution paid to his heirs.
• The Kitzur forbids even minimal benefit from a stolen object while still in the thief's possession.
