Deuteronomy 22:6-7

Deuteronomy 22:6-7

[6] If a bird's  nest  chance  to be before  thee in the way  in any tree,  or on the ground,  whether they be young ones,  or eggs,  and the dam  sitting  upon the young,  or upon the eggs,  thou shalt not take  the dam  with the young:  [7] But thou shalt in any wise  let the dam  go,  and take  the young  to thee; that it may be well  with thee, and that thou mayest prolong  thy days.
