Deuteronomy 17:5-7
International Standard Version
5 summon the man or the woman who did this evil thing to your city gates, and then stone the man or the woman to death. 6 Based on the testimony[a] of two or three witnesses, they must surely die, but they are not to die based on the testimony of one person. 7 Let the witnesses[b] be the first to begin executing them, then the rest of[c] the people are to follow. By doing this you will purge evil from among you.”
