American Standard Version
Deuteronomy 24:5-7
American Standard Version
5 When a man taketh a new wife, he shall not go out in the host, neither shall he be charged with any business: he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer his wife whom he hath taken.
6 No man shall take the mill or the upper millstone to pledge; for he taketh a man’s life to pledge.
7 If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and he deal with him [a]as a slave, or sell him; then that thief shall die: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.

Deuteronomy 24:5-7
New International Version
Deuteronomy 24:5-7
New International Version
5 If a man has recently married, he must not be sent to war or have any other duty laid on him. For one year he is to be free to stay at home and bring happiness to the wife he has married.(A)
6 Do not take a pair of millstones—not even the upper one—as security for a debt, because that would be taking a person’s livelihood as security.(B)
7 If someone is caught kidnapping a fellow Israelite and treating or selling them as a slave, the kidnapper must die.(C) You must purge the evil from among you.(D)
