Deuteronomy 22:5 — Meaning and Application

In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother's, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.

Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift {them} up again.

The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so {are} abomination unto the LORD thy God.

If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, {whether they be} young ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young:

{But} thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and {that} thou mayest prolong {thy} days.
