6 If a bird's H6833 nest H7064 chance H7122 to be before H6440 thee in the way H1870 in any tree, H6086 or on the ground, H776 whether they be young ones, H667 or eggs, H1000 and the dam H517 sitting H7257 upon the young, H667 or upon the eggs, H1000 thou shalt not take H3947 the dam H517 with the young: H1121
And whether it be cow H7794 or ewe, H7716 ye shall not kill H7819 it and her young H1121 both in one H259 day. H3117
Bring forth H3318 with thee every living thing H2416 that is with thee, of all flesh, H1320 both of fowl, H5775 and of cattle, H929 and of every creeping thing H7431 that creepeth H7430 upon the earth; H776 that they may breed abundantly H8317 in the earth, H776 and be fruitful, H6509 and multiply H7235 upon the earth. H776
A righteous H6662 man regardeth H3045 the life H5315 of his beast: H929 but the tender mercies H7356 of the wicked H7563 are cruel. H394

Commentary on Deuteronomy 22 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 22
The laws of this chapter provide,
Deu 22:1-4
The kindness that was commanded to be shown in reference to an enemy (Ex. 23:4, etc.) is here required to be much more done for a neighbour, though he were not an Israelite, for the law is consonant to natural equity.
Deu 22:5-12
Here are several laws in these verses which seem to stoop very low, and to take cognizance of things mean and minute. Men's laws commonly do not so: De minimis non curat lex-The law takes no cognizance of little things; but because God's providence extends itself to the smallest affairs, his precepts do so, that even in them we may be in the fear of the Lord, as we are under his eye and care. And yet the significancy and tendency of these statutes, which seem little, are such that, notwithstanding their minuteness, being fond among the things of God's law, which he has written to us, they are to be accounted great things.
Deu 22:13-30
These laws relate to the seventh commandment, laying a restraint by laying a penalty upon those fleshly lusts which war against the soul.
