Deuteronomy 24:6-9 - Safeguarding Life

6 No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone to pledge, for he takes life to pledge.

7 If a man is found stealing any of his brothers of the sons of Israel, and he deals with him as a slave, or sells him, then that thief shall die. So shall thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.

8 Take heed in the disease of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you. As I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do. 9 Remember what LORD thy God did to Miriam by the way as ye came forth out of Egypt.
