Deuteronomy 22:6-12 New English Translation (NET)

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.

10. You must not plow with an ox and a donkey harnessed together.

11. You must not wear clothing made with wool and linen meshed together.

12. You shall make yourselves tassels for the four corners of the clothing you wear.
