The covert commandment is about 7 seperate commands:
"You shall not covet your neighbor's goods. You shall not covet your neighbour's house. You shall not covet your neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his bull, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbour's."

"thou shalt not covert" would have sufficed.

Just "Thou shalt not" would have done - one commandment with a million uses.
