⁶ If you happen to see a bird’s nest along the road, whether in a tree or on the ground, and it has young ones or eggs in it, and the mother is sitting over the young or on the eggs, do not take the mother along with the young birds. ⁷ You may take the young birds for yourself, but be sure to set the mother free, so that it may go well for you and you may have a long life.
