Deuteronomy 17:6-8
International Standard Version
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.”
Deciding Difficult Cases
8 “If a case is too difficult for you to decide with respect to bloodshed,[d] civil claims,[e] assault and battery,[f] or other matters of dispute within your courts,[g] bring[h] it to the place that the Lord your God will choose.
