6 ¶ No man shall take the nether nor the upper [a]millstone to pledge: for this gage is his living.
7 ¶ If any man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him, that thief shall die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
8 ¶ Take heed of the (A)plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the Priests of the Levites shall teach you: take heed ye do as I commanded them.
