Context of Deuteronomy 24:8

6“It is wrong to take a set of millstones, or even just the upper millstone, as security for a loan, for the owner uses it to make a living. 7“If anyone kidnaps a fellow Israelite and treats him as a slave or sells him, the kidnapper must die. In this way, you will purge the evil from among you. “In all cases involving serious skin diseases, be careful to follow the instructions of the Levitical priests; obey all the commands I have given them. 9Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam as you were coming from Egypt. 10“If you lend anything to your neighbor, do not enter his house to pick up the item he is giving as security.
