Pri Tzadik (Hassidic Commentary of Rabbi Zadok HaKohen Rabinowitz) 112

Here, where it says that ‘for the righteous, their money is more dear to them than their bodies, so that they do not come to steal’ (Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Sotah, p. 12a) [this can be understood] to mean that they do not take that which is not destined for them from God…[The above teaching] calls it ‘stealing,’ based on the teaching (Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Brachot p. 35b) that it is as if that person is stealing from God and the Jewish people, since “to God is the land and its fullness” (Psalms). That which is not created for this specific person is like stolen property when they are in possession of it, and thus [the righteous are careful] not to take possession of it. Because of this, property that is assigned to and created for them is very precious to them—so much so that our patriarch Jacob risked his life for his property. Thus the Ishbitzer Rebbe heard from his rebbe of Przysucha who said in the name of the Yehudi Hakadosh (three generations of Hassidic rebbes of Przysucha): a righteous person is obligated to enjoy that an object which is fitting for them even if it means risking their life. That is why Jacob-- who knew that the small vessels were his, appropriate to his soul, and created for him—risked his life to save them. So too with all the silver and gold that they [the Jewish people] took out of Egypt—they sought to extract the holiness that was trapped inside of [the wealth].” [Translation by J. Neril]
