What the Bible says about Stealing to Avert Hunger
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Exodus 22:1-4 The penalty for thievery to avert hunger was not as severe as stealing motivated by greed. Nevertheless, any kind of stealing is shameful (Jeremiah 2:26). We should ask God to provide for our needs so that we will not be tempted to steal to survive (Proverbs 30:7-9). Martin G.
