221 You shall not watch your neighbor's ox or sheep straying away and ignore them; you shall take them back to their owner.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 22:1

Commentary on Deuteronomy 22:1-4

(Read Deuteronomy 22:1-4)

If we duly regard the golden rule of "doing to others as we would they should do unto us," many particular precepts might be omitted. We can have no property in any thing that we find. Religion teaches us to be neighbourly, and to be ready to do all good offices to all men. We know not how soon we may have occasion for help.
