Laws Concerning Witnesses

¹⁵“A single witness shall not suffice against a person for any crime or for any wrong in connection with any offense that he has committed. ^(B)Only on the evidence of two witnesses or of three witnesses shall a charge be established. ¹⁶If ^(C)a malicious witness arises to accuse a person of wrongdoing, ¹⁷then both parties to the dispute shall appear before the Lord, ^(D)before the priests and the judges who are in office in those days. ¹⁸The judges shall ^(E)inquire diligently, and if the witness is a false witness and has accused his brother falsely, ¹⁹^(F)then you shall do to him as he had meant to do to his brother. So you shall purge the evil^[a] from your midst. ²⁰And the rest ^(G)shall hear and fear, and shall never again commit any such evil among you. ²¹^(H)Your eye shall not pity. ^(I)It shall be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
