Deuteronomy 22:1

When you see ¹  your neighbor’s ²  ox or sheep going astray, do not ignore it; ³  you must return it without fail ⁴  to your neighbor.

Ex 23:4; Le 20:4; De 22:3,4; Pr 24:11; Pr 28:27; Isa 8:17; Isa 58:7; Eze 34:4,16; Mt 10:6; Mt 15:24; Mt 18:12,13; Lu 10:31,32; Lu 15:4-6; Jas 5:19,20; 1Pe 2:25

¹ tn Heb “you must not see,” but, if translated literally into English, the statement is misleading.

² tn Heb “brother’s” (also later in this verse). In this context it is not limited to one’s siblings, however; cf. NAB “your kinsman’s.”

³ tn Heb “hide yourself.”

⁴ tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, which the translation indicates with the words “without fail.”
