Deuteronomy 22:1-7 ▼

1 “If you see your brother Israelite’s ox or sheep straying, do not ignore it; make sure you return it to your brother.

2 If your brother does not live near you or you don’t know him, you are to bring the animal to your home to remain with you until your brother comes looking for it; then you can return it to him.

3 Do the same for his donkey, his garment, or anything your brother has lost and you have found. You must not ignore it.

4 If you see your brother’s donkey or ox fallen down on the road, do not ignore it; help him lift it up.

5 “A woman is not to wear male clothing, and a man is not to put on a woman’s garment, for everyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD your God.

6 “If you come across a bird’s nest with chicks or eggs, either in a tree or on the ground along the road, and the mother is sitting on the chicks or eggs, do not take the mother along with the young.

7 You may take the young for yourself, but be sure to let the mother go free, so that you may prosper and live long.
