Deuteronomy 22:8 in Context — Deuteronomy 22

6 Quando achares no caminho algum ninho de ave em qualquer árvore, ou sobre a terra, com passarinhos ou ovos, e estiver a mãe reclinada sobre os passarinhos ou sobre os ovos, não tomes a mãe com os filhos:

7 Deixarás ir à mãe, e tomarás os passarinhos para ti; para que te vá bem, e prolongues teus dias.

8 Quando edificares casa nova, farás parapeito em teu terraço, para que não ponhas sangue em tua casa, se dele cair alguém.

9 Não semearás tua vinha de várias sementes, para que não se deprave a plenitude da semente que semeaste, e o fruto da vinha.

10 Não ararás com boi e com asno juntamente.
