The Greek word κλοπή (klopē) is defined as "theft." It falls within the semantic domain of Law & Justice, indicating its relevance to concepts of crime, punishment, and social order. This word appears only twice in the Bible, suggesting a limited but deliberate use by the authors. Given its definition, κλοπή likely refers to the act of taking something that doesn't belong to the person taking it, often without permission or with the intention of depriving the owner. The fact that it's categorized under Law & Justice implies that κλοπή is not just a neutral term for "taking," but rather a negative action with consequences. Its limited occurrences in the Bible may indicate that the authors focus on the moral and social implications of theft rather than its frequency or triviality.
