Deuteronomy 24:7-15 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

7. If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and makes merchandise of him, or sells him; then that thief shall die; and you shall put evil away from among you.

8. Take heed in a plague of leprosy, that you observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so you shall observe to do.

9. Remember what the LORD your God did unto Miriam by the way, after you were come forth out of Egypt.

10. When you do lend your brother anything, you shall not go into his house to get his pledge.

11. You shall stand outside, and the man to whom you do lend shall bring out the pledge unto you.

12. And if the man be poor, you shall not sleep with his pledge:

13. In any case you shall deliver him the pledge again when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his own clothing, and bless you: and it shall be righteousness unto you before the LORD your God.

14. You shall not oppress a hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of your brethren, or of your strangers that are in your land within your gates:

15. Each day you shall give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and sets his heart upon it: lest he cry against you unto the LORD, and it be sin unto you.
