If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you.

Verse 7 is found in chapter 24 of Deuteronomy. The laws concerning divorce and remarriage establish limits for a family situation that can produce permanent consequences. The legislation concerning skin disease also recalls the case of Miriam, connecting present regulations with the memory of a figure from an earlier generation. Deuteronomy thus uses Israel’s historical experience as a reference for the conduct of later generations.

Wenn jemand gefunden wird, der aus seinen Brüdern, aus den Kindern Israel, eine Seele stiehlt, und versetzt oder verkauft sie: solcher Dieb soll sterben, daß du das Böse von dir tust.
Cuando fuere hallado alguno que haya hurtado persona de sus hermanos los hijos de Israel, y hubiere mercadeado con ella, o la hubiere vendido, el tal ladrón morirá, y quitarás el mal de en medio de ti.
Si l'on trouve un homme qui ait dérobé l'un de ses frères, l'un des enfants d'Israël, qui en ait fait son esclave ou qui l'ait vendu, ce voleur sera puni de mort. Tu ôteras ainsi le mal du milieu de toi.
Quando si troverà alcuno che abbia rubato un uomo d’infra i suoi fratelli, figliuoli d’Israele, e ne abbia fatto traffico, e l’abbia venduto, muoia quel ladro; e togli il mal del mezzo di te.
Quando se achar alguém que tiver furtado um dentre os seus irmãos, dos filhos de Israel, e escravizá-lo, ou vendê-lo, esse ladrão morrerá, e tirarás o mal do meio de ti.
「若發現有人綁架 以色列 人中的一個弟兄,把他當奴隸對待,或把他賣了,那綁架人的就必處死。這樣,你就把惡從你中間除掉。
