| Deuteronomy | | | Chapter 24 | | | | | 5. When a man takes a new wife, he shall not go out in the army, nor shall he be subjected to anything associated with it. He shall remain free for his home for one year and delight his wife, whom he has taken. | | | | 6. One shall not take the lower or the upper millstone as security [for a loan], because he is taking a life as security. | | | | 7. If a man is discovered kidnapping any person from among his brothers, of the children of Israel, and treats him as a slave and sells him that thief shall die, so that you shall clear out the evil from among you. | | | | 8. Be cautious regarding the lesion of tzara'ath, to observe meticulously and you shall according to all that the Levite priests instruct you; as I have commanded them, [so shall you] observe to do. | | | | 9. Remember what the Lord, your God, did to Miriam on the way, when you went out of Egypt. | | | | 10. When you lend your fellow [Jew] any item, you shall not enter his home to take his security. | | | | 11. You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you are extending the loan shall bring the security to you outside. | | | | 12. And if he is a poor man, you shall not lie down [to sleep] with his security. | | | | 13. You shall return the security to him by sunset, so that he may lie down [to sleep] in his garment, and he will bless you, and it will be counted for you as merit before the Lord, your God. | | |
