Deuturonomy 22:7

You shall let the mother bird go, but you may take the young for yourself, so that it may go well with you and you may prolong your days.
[Ironically, the commandment to preserve life is mixed with the commandment to take life. In a culture that depended on agriculture and the slaughter of animals for food, killing animals was permitted, see Gen. 9:2–3. However, it should be done with wisdom and dignity; the mother bird should live so that she can provide food in the future. The order here is first clean animals (oxen and sheep, verse 1), then the donkey, which was unclean (see verses 3–4), and finally wild birds.]
