Deuteronomy 22:1-7 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

1. “If you see a fellow-Israelite's cow or sheep running loose, do not ignore it; take it back to him.

2. But if its owner lives a long way off or if you don't know who owns it, then take it home with you. When its owner comes looking for it, give it to him.

3. Do the same thing if you find a donkey, a piece of clothing, or anything else that your fellow-Israelite may have lost.

4. “If a fellow-Israelite's donkey or cow has fallen down, don't ignore it; help him to get the animal to its feet again.

5. “Women are not to wear men's clothing, and men are not to wear women's clothing; the Lord your God hates people who do such things.

6. “If you happen to find a bird's nest in a tree or on the ground with the mother bird sitting either on the eggs or with her young, you are not to take the mother bird.

7. You may take the young birds, but you must let the mother bird go, so that you will live a long and prosperous life.
