Various Statutes

22 (A)You shall not see your brother’s ox or his sheep straying away and [a]ignore them; you shall certainly bring them back to your brother. And if your brother is not near you, or if you do not know him, then you shall bring it home to your house, and it shall be with you until your brother searches for it; then you shall give it back to him. Thus you shall do with his donkey, and you shall do likewise with his garment, and you shall do likewise with anything lost by your brother, which he has lost and you have found. You are not allowed to [b]ignore them. You shall not see your brother’s donkey or his ox fallen down on the way and [c]ignore them; you shall certainly help him to raise them up.
