Context of Deuteronomy 24:8
6"No one shall take a mill or an upper millstone in pledge, for that would be taking a life in pledge. 7"If a man is found stealing one of his brothers of the people of Israel, and if he treats him as a slave or sells him, then that thief shall die. So you shall purge the evil from your midst. "Take care, in a case of leprous disease, to be very careful to do according to all that the Levitical priests shall direct you.
