The Hebrews expressed the same idea by the word _gannab_,– robber,–from the verb _ganab_, which means to put away, to turn aside: _lo thi-gnob (Decalogue: Eighth Commandment_), thou shalt not steal,–that is, thou shalt not hold back, thou shalt not put away any thing for thyself. That is the act of a man who, on entering into a society into which he agrees to bring all that he has, secretly reserves a portion, as did the celebrated disciple Ananias.
