From 8-year old Hilda’s diary:
The eighth commandment is a very important one. “Thou Shalt Not Steal.” I suppose it is still important, at least when I was a little girl, I was told not to. Miss Meadows said that it was especially important when Moses was taking the Jews out of Egypt and through the wilderness because it kept them from stealing out of each other’s tents. I asked her what was in the tents to steal because I know when my uncles go camping they leave all their nice things at home. She said that it was quite different because my uncles know that they are coming home again but the Jews knew that they were never going back to Egypt and they took all their nice things with them, like rings and bracelets and maybe beautiful pieces of embroidery. So then I remembered and said, like Moses’ pomegranates. She said, “Yes.”
