Deuteronomy 24:5-13

⁵“When a man takes a new wife, he is not to go out with the army, nor be assigned any duty; he shall be free at home for one year and shall make his wife whom he has taken happy.

⁶“No one shall seize a handmill or an upper millstone as a pledge for a loan, since he would be seizing the debtor’s means of life as a pledge.

⁷“If someone is caught kidnapping any of his countrymen of the sons of Israel, and he treats him as merchandise and sells him, then that thief shall die; so you shall eliminate the evil from among you.

⁸“Be careful about an infestation of leprosy, that you are very attentive and act in accordance with everything that the Levitical priests teach you; just as I have commanded them, you shall be careful to act. ⁹Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam on the way as you came out of Egypt.

¹⁰“When you make your neighbor a loan of any kind, you shall not enter his house to take his pledge. ¹¹You shall stand outside, and the person to whom you are making the loan shall bring the pledge outside to you. ¹²And if he is a poor man, you shall not sleep with his pledge. ¹³When the sun goes down you shall certainly return the pledge to him, so that he may sleep in his cloak and bless you; and it will be righteousness for you before the Lord your God.
