Deuteronomy 22:6-7

MSTC(i) 6 If thou chance upon a bird's nest by the way, in whatsoever tree it be or on the ground, whether they be young or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young or upon the eggs: thou shalt not take the mother with the young. 7 But shalt in any wise let the dam go and take the young, that thou mayest prosper and prolong thy days.
