Thief (Heb. gannâb, gedûd, ‘îsh jeteÆ’; Gr. klép’s; l’stes, “robber”, “revolutionary”). Person who removes what belongs to others by force; It differs from the one who steals in that he performs the act in secret. Under the theocracy, a captured thief was to replace a stolen ox with 5 oxen and a stolen sheep with 4 sheep, if the animal had been killed (Exo 22:1). If the animal was recovered, the thief had to pay double (v 4). If he was unable to make restitution, he himself was sold into slavery until he paid the debt (v 3). There was no crime if someone killed a thief in the stolen house at night, but there was “blood guilt” on the owner of the house if he took his life by day (vs, 3). Christ taught that at his 2nd coming he would come as quietly as a thief to those who were not prepared (Luk 2:39, 40). The unregenerate klépt’s will be among those who will not have eternal life (1Co 6: 10); Judas was a klept’s (John 2:6). In numerous cases, the RVR has translated lestes as “thief” (Mat 21:13; 26:55; 27:38, 44; Mar 11:17; 14:48; 15:27; Lk, 10:30, 36; 19:46; 22:52). However, lestes more adequately describes the “bandit”, “revolutionary”, “assailant”, “robber” (Joh 0:1; 2Co 11:26; etc.). Another term used in the NT is gr. harpax, “thief,” “swindler” (1Co 5:10, 11; 6:10).

(Heb., gannav, to steal; Gr., kleptes, lestes, thief). The word is used of anyone who seizes someone else’s property, including petty thieves and highway robbers (Luk 10:30; Joh 12:6). Under the law of Moses, thieves who were apprehended had to return double what was stolen. The thieves crucified with Jesus must have been robbers or bandits, judging by the severity of the punishment and the fact that one of them recognized that the death penalty imposed on them was just (Luk 23:41).

Who by any means deprives another of his property. “You shall not steal” (Exo 20:15). If someone surprised an l. † œbreaking into a house † and killed him, he was not guilty of murder if it was by night, but guilty if it was by day (Exo 22:2). he he had to repay what was stolen or be sold to pay for it (Exo 22:3). If he was caught red-handed, with a live animal that he stole, he was to pay double (Exo 22:4). A procedure was established to verify the case that someone said that something that was given to him in deposit had been stolen (Exo 22:7-13). Not even one who “steals to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry” could avoid punishment (Pro 6:31). †œThe l. …shall inherit the kingdom of heaven† (1Co 6:10).
Pilate had the Lord Jesus crucified between two l., in view of the contempt and hatred felt against them (Mat 27:38). No Christian should suffer “as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or for interfering with another’s business” (1Pe 4:15), rather “he who stole, steal no more, but work… so that he may have something to share with the one he steals”. suffers need† (Eph 4:28).
he enters the house without warning, that fact is taken as a figure to indicate that in that form the Son of Man will come (Luke 12:39-40; Rev 3:3; Rev 16:15).

vet, It was a term that was applied in biblical times to highwaymen, and we see it in several passages of the New Testament: Mt. 21:13; 26:55; 27:38, 44; Mark 11:17; 14:48; 15:27; Lc. 10:30, 36; 19:46; 22:52; 23:39-43. The repentant thief manifested a faith as extraordinary as his repentance, acknowledging Christ, even on the cross, as the divine King, as the Savior of man. The act of turning to Christ, perhaps after mocking him like the other thief, seems to have been sudden and to have been caused by the supernatural resignation with which the Redeemer suffered, by the divine nature of his looks and his words and by the signs and extraordinary circumstances of that supreme moment. Thieves were crucified by the Romans. Two of them were crucified with Jesus (Luke 23:39-42). Christ had to suffer this outrageous death, and his identification with the human race and with sinners reached even the torture he suffered. The figure of the thief who enters in a surprising and untimely way is used for the Second Coming of Christ, which will be presented without announcing his arrival (Mt. 24:43). Suddenly the day of the Lord will come (1 Thess. 5:2-4; 2 Pet. 3:10; Rev. 3:3; 16:15), like the thief in the middle of the night.

It is the one who steals or appropriates the property of others against the will of its owner. The term thief carries a moral or social connotation. The term kleptomaniac is reserved, he often does the same but out of pathological propensity and without moral responsibility.

The OT radically prohibits theft (Ex 20,15; Dt 5,19). The thief was only punished with compensation; that is the only right that protects the person who has suffered the robbery. But the indemnity consisted in restoring not only what was stolen, but more than what was stolen: twice (Ex 22,3), four times, five times (Ex 21,37; Lk 19,8) and even seven times (Prov 6, 30-31). The NT also prohibits theft (Mt 15,19; 19,18; Mk 7,21; 10,19; Lk 18,20), and the thief is condemned, who does nothing but steal, kill and destroy (Jn 10 ,10). Jesus Christ considers false shepherds as thieves (Jn 10,1). The day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night (1 Thess 5,2. 4), and so will the coming of the Son of man (Mt 24,43; Lk 12,39), so we must always be prepared.

Person who deliberately takes away what belongs to another without permission, using violence or, especially, fraud or deceit. Also, the one who steals taking advantage of an oversight. In the past, thieves acted in a very similar way to how they do today. They used to steal at night (Job 24:14; Jer 49:9; Mt 24:43; Lu 12:39; Jn 10:10; 1Th 5:2-5; 2Pe 3:10; Rev 3:3; 16:15 ), and they used to enter through a window. (Joe 2:9) On the other hand, robbers lurked and fell on their victims in lonely places, where it was virtually impossible to get help. These criminals did not hesitate to use violence or threaten and endanger the lives of the people they wanted to rob. (Jg 9:25; Lu 10:30, 36; 2Co 11:26)
The original language terms translated “steal” and “robber” can also refer to withholding from someone what is rightfully theirs, taking things from others by fraudulent means, or appropriating for private use what one was obligated to give. to others. By not paying tithes to support true temple worship, the Jews of Malachi’s time were †˜robbing God†™. (Mal 3: 8, 9) Proverbs 28:24 speaks of one who robs his father or his mother, probably meaning that he is somehow depriving them of what is rightfully theirs. Jesus Christ condemned the moneychangers for turning the temple into a “robbers den,” implying that they were charging exorbitant fees for their services. (Mt 21:12, 13)
In his second letter to the Corinthians, the apostle Paul wrote: “I robbed other congregations, accepting provisions, in order to minister to you.” (2Co 11:8) There was nothing fraudulent in Paul receiving supplies from others. Therefore, he probably said that he had stolen from those congregations in the sense that he had used what they had given him to meet his needs while he labored for the Corinthians and not for those who had helped him.
In some cases †˜stealing†™ can refer to the justified act of taking what belongs to one. In these cases, the term †˜steal†™ highlights the stealthy way of executing the action. For example, the Israelites †˜stole†™ the body of Saul from the public square of Beth-san. (2Sa 21:12) The young man’s aunt Jehoash saved his life by † ˜stealing him from her brothers † ™ so that she might not die like them at the hands of wicked Athaliah. (2Ki 11:1, 2; 2Ch 22:11)
Condemned by God. However, most references in the Bible to theft have to do with unlawfully taking what belongs to another. Jehovah’s law to Israel explicitly stated: “You must not steal.” (Ex 20:15; Le 19:11, 13; De 5:19; Mt 19:18) A thief had to make compensation double, quadruple, or even quintuple, depending on what was stipulated in the Law. If he could not, he had to sell himself as a slave, although he regained his freedom when he had made full compensation. (Ex 22:1-12) In addition to making compensation, the humiliated thief (Jer 2:26) had to present a guilt offering and request that the priest make atonement for his sins. (Le 6:2-7.)
Over time, the nation of Israel ignored these laws, and as a result Jehovah allowed robbers and robbers, both from within the people and from abroad, to plague Israel. (De 28:29, 31; Eze 7:22) Fraudulent practices, especially the oppression of poor and needy persons, became common. (Isa 1:23; 3:14; Jer 7:9-11; 21:12; 22:3; Eze 22:29; Mic 2:2)
Although the thief who steals out of hunger is not as reprehensible as the one who does it out of greed and due to a bad heart, like Achan and Judas…
