Verse 4 is found in chapter 22 of Deuteronomy. Several laws regulate responsibilities toward animals, lost property, household safety, and clothing. The common concern is to prevent indifference toward the needs or risks of one’s neighbor. The principle of loving one’s neighbor is translated here into concrete actions of care, prevention, and respect for communal order.

Wenn du deines Bruders Esel oder Ochsen siehst fallen auf dem Wege, so sollst du dich nicht von ihm entziehen, sondern sollst ihm aufhelfen.
No verás el asno de tu hermano, o su buey, caídos en el camino, y te esconderás de ellos: con él has de procurar levantarlos.
Si ves caídos en el camino el burro de tu hermano o su buey, no te desentenderás de ellos. Los levantarás sin falta junto con él.
Si tu vois l'âne de ton frère ou son boeuf tombé dans le chemin, tu ne t'en détourneras point, tu l'aideras à le relever.
Se tu vedi l’asino del tuo fratello, o il suo bue, caduto nella strada, non ritrartene indietro; del tutto adoperati con lui a rilevarlo
Se vires o jumento que é de teu irmão, ou o seu boi, caídos no caminho, não te desviarás deles; sem falta o ajudarás a levantá-los.
