Deuteronomy 22:1-7 ▼

1 |When you see the ox or sheep of your fellow countryman straying, don't go away and leave them. Instead, be sure to return them to him.

2 If your fellow countryman doesn't live near you or you don't know who he is, bring the animal to your house and let it remain with you until he claims it. Then return it to him.

3 Do the same for his donkey, his garment, and for anything lost that belongs to your fellow countryman. When you find it, you must not ignore it.

4 When you see the donkey or the ox of your fellow countryman fallen on the road, don't ignore them. Instead be sure to help them get up.|

5 |A woman must not wear what is appropriate to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman's garment, because anyone who does this is detestable to the LORD your God.

6 |When you encounter a bird's nest along the road, whether in a tree or on the ground, and the mother bird is sitting on its chicks or eggs, don't take the mother along with its young.

7 You may take the young but be sure to release the mother, so that life will go well for you and that you may have a long life.
