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.

22 “You shall not watch the ox of your neighbor or his sheep or goat straying and ignore them; certainly you shall return them to your neighbor. And if your countryman[a] is not near you or you do not know who he is,[b] then you shall bring it to your household,[c] and it shall be[d] with you until your countryman seeks after it,[e] and you shall return it to him. And thus also you shall do regarding[f] his donkey, and thus you shall do concerning[g] his garment, and so you shall do with respect to[h] all of the lost property of your countryman[i] that is lost from him and you find it; you are not allowed to withhold help.

“You shall not see the donkey of your neighbor or his ox fallen on the road and you ignore them; certainly you must help them get up along with him.
