Deuteronomy 24:6-9 - Safeguarding Life

6 No man shall take the lower or the upper millstone in pledge: for he takes a man's living in pledge.

7 If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and makes merchandise of him, or sells him; then that thief shall die; and you shall put evil away from among you.

8 Take heed in a plague of leprosy, that you observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so you shall observe to do. 9 Remember what the LORD your God did unto Miriam by the way, after you were come forth out of Egypt.
