“Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother.”
You shall not see your brother's ox or sheep straying, and withhold your help from them; you shall take them back to their owner — the opening law (lo titgodal panekha) obligates active pursuit of a neighbor's lost animal; indifference becomes covenant violation, making animal welfare a matter of communal responsibility.
