Deuteronômio 22:7 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 22:7

But thou shall in any wise let the dam go, and take the young
to thee
Or "in letting go, let go", or "in sending, send away" {a}; that is, willingly, certainly, entirely, frequently, always; so the Jewish canons F2,

``if anyone lets her go, and she returns, even four or five times, he is obliged to let her go, as it is said, "in letting go, let go";''

nay, Maimonides says F3, even a thousand times; the canon proceeds,

``if anyone says, lo, I take the dam and let go the young, he is obliged to let her go; if he takes the young, and returns them again to the nest, and after that returns the dam to them, he is free from letting her go;''

that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days;
the Targum of Jonathan is,

``that it may be well with thee in this world, and thou mayest prolong thy days in the world to come:''

the same blessing that is promised to observers of the fifth command, which is one of the weightier matters of the law, is made to this; which the Jews say F4 is but as the value of a farthing, or of little account in comparison of others; wherefore, as Fagius rightly observes {e}, God, in bestowing such rewards, has regard not to the works of men, but to his own grace and kindness; for what merit can there be in letting go or preserving the life of a little bird?

Deuteronômio 22:7 In-Context

5 Não haverá traje de homem na mulher, e não vestirá o homem vestido de mulher, porque qualquer que faz isto é abominação ao Senhor teu Deus.
6 Se encontrares pelo caminho, numa árvore ou no chão, um ninho de ave com passarinhos ou ovos, e a mãe posta sobre os passarinhos, ou sobre os ovos, não temarás a mãe com os filhotes;
7 sem falta deixarás ir a mãe, porém os filhotes poderás tomar; para que te vá bem, e para que prolongues os teus dias.
8 Quando edificares uma casa nova, farás no terraço um parapeito, para que não tragas sangue sobre a tua casa, se alguém dali cair.
9 Não semearás a tua vinha de duas espécies de semente, para que não fique sagrado todo o produto, tanto da semente que semeares como do fruto da vinha.
