Deuteronomy 17:7-9

Good News Translation

^7 (A)The witnesses are to throw the first stones, and then the rest of the people are to stone them; in this way you will get rid of this evil.

⁸ “It may be that some cases will be too difficult for the local judges to decide, such as certain cases of property rights or of bodily injury or those cases that involve a distinction between murder and manslaughter. When this happens, go to the one place of worship chosen by the Lord your God, ⁹ and present your case to the levitical priests and to the judge who is in office at that time, and let them decide the case.
