When Fleeing Zombies and on Building Defensive Walls

Deut. 22:4-8

4 You shall not see your brother’s donkey or his ox fallen down by the way, and hide yourself from them; you shall surely help him to lift them up again. 5 A woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment; for whosoever does these things is an abomination unto the Lord your God. 6 If a bird’s nest chance to be before you in the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, you shall not take the dam with the young; 7 you shall in any way let the dam go, but the young you may take for yourself; that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days. 8 When you build a new house, then you shalt make a parapet for thy roof,  and a fence around its courtyard that you bring not blood upon your house, if any man fall from there or if anything tries to enter.

Rashi

Gen. 22:4- your brother’s donkey- When you are running from the zombies, you should not ignore the falling animals.  If they are upright, they will provide more of a distractive impediment to the horde.  Scripture notes “your brother’s ass” and by analogy yours as well.   And hide yourself from them- By this we know that this is a case of fleeing zombies, for why else would one hide, surely not from the donkey, but from the zombies. The Scripture addresses your inclination which would be, indeed, to hide.   You shall surely help him to lift them up again- And then run.

Gen. 22:5- an abomination unto the Lord your God- Changing clothes will not save you from the zombies, they are not confused like people are.  Doing so wastes the time one has to get away and is an affront to the Lord your God who wants you to prolong your days.

Gen. 22: 6- you shall not take the dam with the young- Zombies are known to stop at bird nests.  Certain kinds become more vicious when they find them completely empty.

Gen. 22:7- you shall in any way let the dam go- Despite flying away, she will return and occupy the zombies. the young- or the eggs.  They are both good for food and to can both be used to throw the zombies off one’s scented trail.  That it may be well with you- That they will be distracted and that you may prolong your days- That you will be able to get away.

Gen. 22:8- a fence around its courtyard- According to the Sifre the parapet must be 10 handbreaths and the protective wall must be at least 3 and a half cubits high.
