Concerning witnesses in court

Deu 19:15–21

15A single witness must not be used to condemn anyone—a matter must only be considered proven if there’s at least two or three witnesses.[ref] 16Suppose that a ‘witnessbrought a false allegation against a man, 17then both parties must go and stand in front of Yahwehin front of the priests and judges on duty at that time. 18The judges must investigate the case thoroughly, and if the witness is proved to be lying (and so falsely accusing a fellow citizen), 19you must give the false witness the punishment that was planned for the person falsely accused, and that’s how you can remove the evil from among your nation. 20Then the rest of the people will hear about that and be afraid to do that kind of evil thing in your country. 21Don’t pity violent people: it’s a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, and a foot for a foot.[ref]
