The term desire in the Hebrew Bible covers a wide range of human
longings, emotions, and cravings. The direct and explicit term of
desire is nevertheless limited to only two roots found in the
Decalogue-the verb forms of the lexical roots and , which reflect
not only the dynamics of desire occurring in human beings, but also
in God. With an comprehensive semantic analysis and an overview of
the synonyms and antonyms, the author shows that the verb form of
the lexical root denotes a variety of needs related to human
existence including aspiration for God while the verb form of the
lexical root denotes the desire to acquire material wealth and
possessions beyond basic needs. All the findings are compared on
two levels-in relation to human beings (objects and people) and in
relation to God-and ultimately serve for the interpretation of the
roots in both versions of the Decalogue (Exod 20:17 and Deut 5:21)
to resolve questions concerning the meaning of the desire in Tenth
Commandment and substantiate whether the answers to life's
questions provided by the Bible correspond to modern society.
