Deuteronomy 22:3-4

22:3 You shall do the same to his donkey, his clothes, or anything else your neighbor has lost and you have found; you must not refuse to get involved. 22:4 When you see your neighbor’s donkey or ox fallen along the road, do not ignore it; instead, you must be sure to help him get the animal on its feet again.


tn Heb “your brother” (also in v. 4).

tn Heb “you must not hide yourself.”

tn Heb “you must not see.” See note at 22:1.

tn Heb “and (must not) hide yourself from them.”

tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “be sure.”

tn Heb “help him to lift them up.” In keeping with English style the singular is used in the translation, and the referent (“the animal”) has been specified for clarity.
