Deuteronomy 17:6-8
New International Reader's Version
6 Two or three witnesses are required to put someone to death. No one can be put to death because of what only one witness says. Two or three witnesses are required. 7 The witnesses must throw the first stones. Then the rest of the people must also throw stones. Get rid of that evil person.
Law Courts
8 People will bring their cases to your courts. But some cases will be too hard for you to judge. They might be about murders, attacks or other crimes. Then take those hard cases to the place the Lord your God will choose.
