DEUT1338 The prohibition is not restricted to these articles only, but you all utensils used in the preparation of food, such as: kneading troughs, pots for cooking, the schochet's knife and the like, since all are included in the category of "For he takes the man's life to pledge." Certainly if the messenger of the court or the lender were to enter the borrower's house and take such articles as pledges, he would all the more guilty – since he would be transgressing this special prohibition in addition to the commandment forbidding entry into the debtor's house to seize a pledge.

DEUT1344 One who speaks lashon hara also transgresses the prohibition of הִשָּׁ֧מֶר בְּנֶגַע־הַצָּרַ֛עַת לִשְׁמֹ֥ר מְאֹ֖ד וְלַעֲשֹׂ֑ות, “Be mindful of the tzaraas affliction, to be very careful and to act [accordingly]." (Devarim 24:8). Chazal explain in Sifra (Bechukosai 1:3) that when the Torah writes “to be very careful,” it means that one should not forget to remain on guard against lashon hara, so that he will not be afflicted with tzaraas because he spoke lashon hara.
