Deuteronomy 24:6-9

The Message

⁶ Don’t seize a handmill or an upper millstone as collateral for a loan. You’d be seizing someone’s very life.

⁷ If a man is caught kidnapping one of his kinsmen, someone of the People of Israel, to enslave or sell him, the kidnapper must die. Purge that evil from among you.

^8-9 Warning! If a serious skin disease breaks out, follow exactly the rules set down by the Levitical priests. Follow them precisely as I commanded them. Don’t forget what God, your God, did to Miriam on your way out of Egypt.
