Deuteronomy 22:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 ¶ If thou find a bird’s nest in the way, in any tree, or on the ground whether they be young or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, [a]thou shalt not take the dam with the young,
7 But shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee, that thou mayest prosper and prolong thy days.
8 ¶ When thou buildest a new house, thou shalt make a battlement on thy roof, that thou lay not blood upon thine house, if any man fall thence.
