"Don't covet your neighbor's house" probably doesn't refer to the building he lives in, but to his family, holdings, servants, etc. It could have read "Don't covet your neighbor's Name." But also don't covet your neighbor's property! Don't covet anything that belongs to another. If you admire it, get one of your own. It's OK to want something like what your neighbor has, just don't think about taking his. God respects private property. "Life, Liberty, and Property" was a much better summation of God's natural law than "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness".
