Anything the “magisterium” comes up with is a private interpretation.
Interpretation is always private.
The scriptures are not to be interpreted, they are to be read. The Holy Spirit provides the interpretation to those that are Yehova’s elect.
The rest look to the “magisterium.”

Who are Yehovah’s elect to whom the Holy Spirit provides interpretations?
Scripture is to be read and obeyed.
Thou shalt not steal is not that complicated and needs no *interpretation*.
Neither does Thou shalt not murder, covet, commit adultery, make images and bow down to them, etc.
That is, unless someone is trying to weasel around and justify disobeying them.
Then Scripture needs to be *interpreted* to make it say something it doesn’t say, to find a loophole.
