⁶ “If you come across a bird's nest in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs and the mother sitting on the young or on the eggs, ^(A)you shall not take the mother with the young.

²⁸ But you shall not kill an ox or a sheep ^(A)and her young in one day.

⁶ Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies?^[a] And ^(A)not one of them is forgotten before God.

¹¹ Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for ^(A)I fear him, that he may come and attack me, the mothers with the children.

¹⁷ Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh—birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth—that they may swarm on the earth, and ^(A)be fruitful and multiply on the earth.”
