1 “If you see an Israelite's cow or sheep running loose, do not ignore it; take it back.
2 But if its owner lives a long way off or if you don't know who owns it, then take it home with you. When its owner comes looking for it, give it to him.
3 Do the same thing if you find a donkey, a piece of clothing, or anything else that an Israelite may have lost.
4 “If an Israelite's donkey or cow has fallen down, don't ignore it; help him get the animal to its feet again.
5 “Women are not to wear men's clothing, and men are not to wear women's clothing; the Lord your God hates people who do such things.
6 “If you happen to find a bird's nest in a tree or on the ground with the mother bird sitting either on the eggs or with her young, you are not to take the mother bird.
7 You may take the young birds, but you must let the mother bird go, so that you will live a long and prosperous life.
