Deuteronomy 22:5-8 New English Translation (NET)

5. A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor should a man dress up in women’s clothing, for anyone who does this is offensive to the Lord your God.

6. If you happen to notice a bird’s nest along the road, whether in a tree or on the ground, and there are chicks or eggs with the mother bird sitting on them, you must not take the mother from the young.

7. You must be sure to let the mother go, but you may take the young for yourself. Do this so that it may go well with you and you may have a long life.

8. If you build a new house, you must construct a guard rail around your roof to avoid being culpable in the event someone should fall from it.
