Deuteronomy 22:6-8

Modern English Version

⁶ If you happen to notice a bird’s nest along the way, in any tree or on the ground, whether they be young ones or eggs, and the mother is sitting on the young or on the eggs, you are not to take the mother from the young. ⁷ You must certainly let the mother go, but you may take the young for yourself, so that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days.

⁸ When you build a new house, you must make a guard rail for your roof so that you bring no blood guilt on your house, should anyone fall from there.
