## In Jewish tradition

It means to rob by force, as invaders do. Jeremiah speaks to Babylon, which robbed Israel, God's own people.

**Interpretation.** Tradition reads it as God warning that those who harm His people will be judged.

### Examples

- Because ye are glad, because ye rejoice, O ye that plunder My heritage, because ye gambol as a heifer at grass, and neigh as strong horses; (Prophets JER.50.11, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/P/plunder/#x1)
