Deuteronomy 24:6-8

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ “No man shall take a mill or an upper millstone in pledge; for he would be taking a life in pledge.

⁷ “If a man is found stealing one of his brethren, the people of Israel, and if he treats him as a slave or sells him, then that thief shall die; so you shall purge the evil from the midst of you.

⁸ “Take heed, in an attack of leprosy, to be very careful to do according to all that the Levitical priests shall direct you; as I commanded them, so you shall be careful to do.
