New International Version
6 Do not take a pair of millstones—not even the upper one—as security for a debt, because that would be taking a person’s livelihood as security.(A)
7 If someone is caught kidnapping a fellow Israelite and treating or selling them as a slave, the kidnapper must die.(B) You must purge the evil from among you.(C)
8 In cases of defiling skin diseases,[a] be very careful to do exactly as the Levitical(D) priests instruct you. You must follow carefully what I have commanded them.(E)
