“But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days.”
Let the mother go, so that you may have a long life and fare well — the promise of longevity attaches to this seemingly small commandment, suggesting that covenant faithfulness consists in countless small acts of mercy and respect for life's processes; greatness emerges from humble obedience.
