**שֶׁלֹּא לְהַעֲלִים עֵינָיו מִמֶּנָּה** – שֶׁלֹּא נַעֲלִים עַיִן מֵאֲבֵדַת אַחֵינוּ (ב"מ כו ב), אֲבָל נִקָּחֶהָ וּנְשִׁיבָהּ אֵלָיו, וְעַל זֶה נֶאֱמַר (דברים כב ג) לֹא תוּכַל לְהִתְעַלֵּם.

**Sefer HaChinukh, translated by R. Francis Nataf, Sefaria 2018:**
**To not avoid his eyes from it:** That we should not avoid our eye from the lost item of our brother (Bava Metzia 26b), but we [rather] take it and return it to him. And about this is it stated (Deuteronomy 22:3), “you may not ignore [it].”
