Deuteronomy 22:6-8

Complete Jewish Bible

⁶ “If, as you are walking along, you happen to see a bird’s nest in a tree or on the ground with chicks or eggs, and the mother bird is sitting on the chicks or the eggs, you are not to take the mother with the chicks. ⁷ You must let the mother go, but you may take the chicks for yourself; so that things will go well with you, and you will prolong your life.

(iii) ⁸ “When you build a new house, you must build a low wall around your roof; otherwise someone may fall from it, and you will be responsible for his death.
