8 Guard against outbreaks of serious skin diseases. Be very careful to do exactly as the Levitical priests instruct you. Make sure you do what I commanded them.
9 Remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam on your trip from Egypt.
10 When you make a loan to your neighbor, don’t go into his house to take a security deposit.
11 Wait outside, and the person to whom you’re making the loan will bring the deposit out to you.
12 If the person is poor, don’t keep the coat you took as a deposit overnight.
13 Make sure you bring it back to him at sunset. When he wears his coat to bed ⌊that night⌋, he’ll bless you. You will have done the right thing in the presence of the Lord your God.
14 Don’t withhold pay from hired workers who are poor and needy, whether they are Israelites or foreigners living in one of your cities.
