“In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother’s, which he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not hide thyself.”
You shall do the same with a donkey; you shall do the same with a garment; and you shall do the same with anything else that your neighbor loses and you find; you are not permitted to withhold your help — the extension to lost garments and possessions broadens the law from animals to all property; the comprehensive formula (anything else) makes active restitution a comprehensive covenantal obligation.
