Exegesis

The final relative clause ve-kol asher le-re’ekha {וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר לְרֵעֶךָ | wə-ḵōl ʾă-šer lə-rē-ʿe-kā} ‘and all that belongs to your neighbor’ ensures comprehensive coverage of possessions. The formal reconstruction mirrors the repetition of lo + tachmod, whereas the dynamic reconstruction shifts to idiomatic expressions ‘set your heart’ and ‘crave’ for stylistic variation.
