Deuteronomy 22:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ A woman must not wear men’s clothes. And a man must not wear women’s clothes. The Lord your God hates it when anyone does this.

⁶ Suppose you happen to find a bird’s nest beside the road. It might be in a tree or on the ground. And suppose the mother bird is sitting on her little birds or on the eggs. Then don’t take the mother along with the little ones. ⁷ You can take the little ones. But make sure you let the mother go. Then things will go well with you. You will live for a long time.
