UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) the murderer must be killed

(Some words not found in UHB: all/each/any/every kills creature on,evidence witnesses put_to_death DOM the,murderer and,witness one(ms) not testimony in/on/at/with,one to,put_to_death )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “someone must execute the murderer”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) as testified to by the words of witnesses

(Some words not found in UHB: all/each/any/every kills creature on,evidence witnesses put_to_death DOM the,murderer and,witness one(ms) not testimony in/on/at/with,one to,put_to_death )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “according to the testimony of witnesses” or “as witnesses testify to the murder”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) But one witness’ word alone may not cause any person to be put to death

(Some words not found in UHB: all/each/any/every kills creature on,evidence witnesses put_to_death DOM the,murderer and,witness one(ms) not testimony in/on/at/with,one to,put_to_death )

The testimony of one witness is not enough to execute a person for murder. If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “But the word of only one witness is not enough for you to execute a person”
