“Thou shalt not see thy brother’s ass or his ox fall down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to lift them up again.”
You shall not see your neighbor's donkey or ox fallen in the road and ignore it; you shall help to lift it up — the obligation to assist a fallen animal reiterates the principle that seeing another's need obligates responsive action; the road-context suggests that helping occurs even when inconvenient or in public.
