Deuteronomy 22:2-4
New English Translation

2 If the owner[a] does not live near[b] you or you do not know who the owner is,[c] then you must corral the animal[d] at your house and let it stay with you until the owner looks for it; then you must return it to him. 3 You shall do the same to his donkey, his clothes, or anything else your neighbor[e] has lost and you have found; you must not refuse to get involved.[f] 4 When you see[g] your neighbor’s donkey or ox fallen along the road, do not ignore it;[h] instead, you must be sure[i] to help him get the animal on its feet again.[j]
