Deuteronomy 19:12-21 ▼

12 and [the] elderly of his city have sent and taken him from there, and given him into the hand of the redeemer of blood, and he has died;

13 your eye has no pity on him, and you have put away the innocent blood from Israel, and it is well with you.

14 You do not remove a border of your neighbor, which they of former times have made, in your inheritance, which you inherit in the land which your God YHWH is giving to you to possess it.

15 One witness does not rise against a man for any iniquity and for any sin, in any sin which he sins; by the mouth of two witnesses or by the mouth of three witnesses is a thing established.

16 When a violent witness rises against a man to testify against him apostasy,

17 then both of the men who have the strife have stood before YHWH, before the priests and the judges who are in those days,

18 and the judges have searched diligently, and behold, the witness [is] a false witness who has testified a falsehood against his brother,

19 then you have done to him as he devised to do to his brother, and you have put away evil out of your midst,

20 and those who are left hear and fear, and do not add to do according to this evil thing in your midst anymore.

21 And your eye does not pity—life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.”
