If you found a bird's nest along the road, what did Deuteronomy 22 command?

Answer: Let the mother go

You could take the young, but must let the mother go, "so that it may be well with you and that you may prolong your days."

“If you come across a bird’s nest with chicks or eggs, either in a tree or on the ground along the road, and the mother is sitting on the chicks or eggs, you must not take the mother along with the young. You may take the young, but be sure to let the mother go, so that it may be well with you and that you may prolong your days.”— Deuteronomy 22:6-7 (BSB)
