What does Deuteronomy 5:21 mean?

Don't obsess over having your neighbor's spouse. And don't crave their house, field, workers, animals, or anything else that belongs to them. Deuteronomy 5:21 - Modern Text Bible

(This command goes deeper than actions—it's about not letting envy or desire for what others have take root in your heart.)
