Deuteronomy 22:3-4
Context22:3 You shall do the same to his donkey, his clothes, or anything else your neighbor 1 has lost and you have found; you must not refuse to get involved. 2 22:4 When you see 3 your neighbor’s donkey or ox fallen along the road, do not ignore it; 4 instead, you must be sure 5 to help him get the animal on its feet again. 6
1 tn Heb “your brother” (also in v. 4).
2 tn Heb “you must not hide yourself.”
3 tn Heb “you must not see.” See note at 22:1.
4 tn Heb “and (must not) hide yourself from them.”
5 tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with “be sure.”
6 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.
