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:[ 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.
Ye shall not eat[ of] any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that[ is] in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou[ art] an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.
