New International Version

Deuteronomy 22:1-6 New International Version (NIV)

1. If you see your fellow Israelite’s ox or sheep straying, do not ignore it but be sure to take it back to its owner.

2. If they do not live near you or if you do not know who owns it, take it home with you and keep it until they come looking for it. Then give it back.

3. Do the same if you find their donkey or cloak or anything else they have lost. Do not ignore it.

4. If you see your fellow Israelite’s donkey or ox fallen on the road, do not ignore it. Help the owner get it to its feet.

5. A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this.

6. If you come across a bird’s nest beside the road, either in a tree or on the ground, and the mother is sitting on the young or on the eggs, do not take the mother with the young.
