(B)On the [b]testimony of two witnesses or three witnesses, the [c]condemned shall be put to death; he shall not be put to death on the [d]testimony of only one witness. (C)The hands of the witnesses shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. (D)So you shall eliminate the evil from your midst.
