Deuteronomy 24:6-8
Evangelical Heritage Version
6 No person is to hold as security a mill or an upper millstone, because he would be holding someone’s livelihood as security.
7 If a man is caught kidnapping a fellow Israelite and enslaving him or selling him, that kidnapper must die, and you will purge the evil from among you.
8 Be careful during an outbreak of an impure skin disease[a] by being very conscientious about doing everything that the priests, who are Levites, instruct you to do. Take care to do exactly as I have commanded them.
