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?

5 “A mulher não usará roupas de homem, e o homem não usará roupas de mulher, pois o SENHOR, o seu Deus, tem aversão por todo aquele que assim procede.
6 “Se você passar por um ninho de pássaros, numa árvore ou no chão, e a mãe estiver sobre os filhotes ou sobre os ovos, não apanhe a mãe com os filhotes.
7 Você poderá apanhar os filhotes, mas deixe a mãe solta, para que tudo vá bem com você e você tenha vida longa.
8 “Quando você construir uma casa nova, faça um parapeito em torno do terraço, para que não traga sobre a sua casa a culpa pelo derramamento de sangue inocente, caso alguém caia do terraço.
9 “Não plante dois tipos de semente em sua vinha; se o fizer, tanto a semente que plantar como o fruto da vinha estarão contaminados.
