Deuteronomy 22:1-6 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

1. “If you see that your neighbor’s ox or sheep is loose, you must not ignore it. Be sure to take it back to its owner.

2. If the owner does not live near you or if you don’t know who it belongs to, take the ox or sheep to your house. Keep it there until the owner comes looking for it; then give it back.

3. You must do the same thing when you find anything that your neighbor might have lost. Don’t try selling it to your neighbor—you must give it back.

4. “If your neighbor’s donkey or ox has fallen down on the road, you must not ignore it. You must help your neighbor lift it up again.

5. “A woman must not wear men’s clothes, and a man must not wear women’s clothes. That is disgusting to the Lord your God.

6. “You might be walking along a path and find a bird’s nest in a tree or on the ground. If the mother bird is sitting with her baby birds or on the eggs, you must not take the mother bird with the babies.
