6 “If a bird’s nest happens to be before you along the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, with the mother sitting on the young or on the eggs, ayou shall not take the mother with the young;  
7 you shall surely let the mother go, and take the young for yourself, athat it may be well with you and that you may prolong your days.  
8 “When you build a new house, then you shall make a parapet for your roof, that you may not bring guilt of bloodshed on your household if anyone falls from it.
9 a“You shall not sow your vineyard with different kinds of seed, lest the yield of the seed which you have sown and the fruit of your vineyard be defiled.  
10 a“You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.  
11 a“You shall not wear a garment of different sorts, such as wool and linen mixed together.

John Wesley's Notes
<< Deuteronomy 22:7   Deuteronomy 22:9 >>


Deuteronomy 22:8

A battlement - A fence or breastwork, because the roofs of their houses were made flat, that men might walk on them. Blood - The guilt of blood, by a man's fall from the top of thy house, thro' thy neglect of this necessary provision. The Jew's say, that by the equity of this law, they are obliged, and so are we, to fence or remove every thing, whereby life may he endangered, as wells, or bridges, lest if any perish thro' our omission, their blood be required at our hand.
