Context of Deuteronomy 24:7
5When a man hath newly taken a wife, he shall not go out with the army, neither shall any kind of business be imposed upon him; he shall be free for his house one year, and shall gladden his wife whom he hath taken. 6No man shall take the hand-mill or the upper millstone in pledge; for it would be taking life in pledge. If a man be found who hath stolen one of his brethren of the children of Israel, and who hath treated him as a slave and sold him, that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from thy midst. 8Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou take great heed, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them shall ye take heed to do. 9Remember what Jehovah thy God did unto Miriam on the way, after that ye came forth out of Egypt.
