Deuteronomy 22:1-12

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

2If 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.

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

4If 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.

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

8If you build a new house, make a railing around your roof, so that you don’t bring bloodguilt on your house if someone falls from it.

9Do not plant your vineyard with two types of seed; otherwise, the entire harvest, both the crop you plant and the produce of the vineyard, will be defiled.

10Do not plow with an ox and a donkey together.

11Do not wear clothes made of both wool and linen.

12Make tassels on the four corners of the outer garment you wear.
