Deuteronomy 22:1-9 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. You shall not see your neighbor’s ox or sheep going astray and ignore it; you must bring it back.

2. If this neighbor does not live near you, or you do not know who the owner may be, take it to your own house and keep it with you until your neighbor claims it; then return it.

3. You shall do the same with a donkey; you shall do the same with a garment; and you shall do the same with anything else which your neighbor loses and you happen to find. You may not ignore them.

4. You shall not see your neighbor’s donkey or ox fallen on the road and ignore it; you must help in lifting it up.

5. A woman shall not wear a man’s garment, nor shall a man put on a woman’s clothing; for anyone who does such things is an abomination to the Lord, your God.

6. If, while walking along, you come across a bird’s nest with young birds or eggs in it, in any tree or on the ground, and the mother bird is sitting on them, you shall not take away the mother bird along with her brood.

7. You must let the mother go, taking only her brood, in order that you shall prosper and have a long life.

8. When you build a new house, put a parapet around the roof, so that you do not bring bloodguilt upon your house if someone falls off.

9. You shall not sow your vineyard with two different kinds of seed, or else its produce shall become forfeit, both the crop you have sown and the yield of the vineyard.
