Deuteronomy 24:6-9 - Safeguarding Life

6 No man shall take the lower or the upper millstone to pledge, for he takes a man's life to pledge.

7 If a man is found stealing a person of his brothers, the sons of Israel, and makes a slave of him, or sells him, then that thief shall die. And you shall put evil away from among you.

8 Be careful in the plague of leprosy, that you watch carefully and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you. As I commanded them, you shall be careful to do. 9 Remember what Jehovah your God did to Miriam by the wayside, after you had come forth out of Egypt.
