New International Reader's Version

Deuteronomy 22:6-11 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

6. Suppose you happen to find a bird's nest beside the road. It might be in a tree or on the ground. And suppose the mother bird is sitting on her little birds or on the eggs. Then don't take the mother along with the little ones.

7. You can take the little ones. But make sure you let the mother go. Then things will go well with you. You will live for a long time.

8. If you build a new house, put a low wall around the edge of your roof. Then you won't be held accountable if someone falls off your roof and dies.

9. Don't plant two kinds of seeds in your vineyard. If you do, the crops you grow there will be polluted. Your grapes will also be polluted.

10. Don't let an ox and a donkey pull the same plow together.

11. Don't wear clothes made of wool and linen that are woven together.
