Deuteronomy 22:6-8

Revised Geneva Translation

⁶ “If you find a bird’s nest in the way, in any tree, or on the ground (young or eggs) and the mother sitting upon the young or upon the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the young.

⁷ “If you must, let the mother go and take the young for yourself, so that you may prosper and prolong your days.

⁸ “When you build a new house, you shall make a parapet on your roof, so that you do not shed blood upon your house if any man falls from there.
