Connection with Jacob's flight from Laban
In Hebrew this commandment is lo tignov. Genesis 31 uses the same verb, to steal, for Rachel taking the idols, Jacob leaving in silence and Laban's complaint, though English translations say deceived, secretly and stolen. Israel heard this commandment in that story, and God still went with Jacob's household.
