DEUTERONOMY 21:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:”
You shall not see your brother's donkey or his ox fallen on the road and ignore it; you shall help lift it up — the positive obligation (lo titgodal) to assist with a fallen animal transforms animal welfare into covenantal duty; the sight of distress obligates responsive action rather than indifference.
