Concerning witnesses in court

Deu 19:15–21

19:15 Concerning witnesses in court

15 A 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] 16 Suppose that a ‘witness’ brought a false allegation against a man, 17 then both parties must go and stand in front of Yahweh—in front of the priests and judges on duty at that time. 18 The judges must investigate the case thoroughly, and if the witness is proved to be lying (and so falsely accusing a fellow citizen), 19 you 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. 20 Then the rest of the people will hear about that and be afraid to do that kind of evil thing in your country. 21 Don’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]
