Clarke's Deuteronomy 22:1 Bible Commentary
Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray - The same humane, merciful, and wise regulations which we met with before, Exodus 23:4, Exodus 23:5, well calculated to keep in remembrance the second grand branch of the law of God, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. A humane man cannot bear to see even an ass fall under his burden, and not endeavor to relieve him; and a man who loves his neighbor as himself cannot see his property in danger without endeavoring to preserve it. These comparatively small matters were tests and proofs of matters great in themselves, and in their consequences. See the note on Exodus 23:4.
Barnes's Deuteronomy 22:1 Bible Commentary

Wesley's Deuteronomy 22:1 Bible Commentary
22:1 Thy brother's — Any man's.
Thou shalt not hide thyself — Dissemble or pretend that thou dost not see them; or pass them by as if thou hadst not seen them.
