Deuteronomy 24:5-8 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

5. “When a man takes a bride, he must not go out with the army or be liable for any duty. He is free to stay at home for one year, so that he can bring joy to the wife he has married.

6. “Do not take a pair of millstones or an upper millstone as security for a debt, because that is like taking a life as security.

7. “If a man is discovered kidnapping one of his Israelite brothers, whether he treats him as a slave or sells him, the kidnapper must die. You must purge the evil from you.

8. “Be careful in a case of infectious skin disease, following carefully everything the Levitical priests instruct you to do. Be careful to do as I have commanded them.
