Deuteronomy 19:14–21
14 “You shall not move the boundary marker of your neighbor that ⌊former generations⌋z set up on your property in the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you to take possession of it. 15 ⌊The testimony of a single witness may not be used to convict⌋a with respect to any crime and for any wrongdoing in any offense that a personb committed; on the ⌊evidence⌋c of two witnesses or on the ⌊evidence⌋d of three witnesses ⌊a charge shall be sustained⌋.e 16 If ⌊a malicious witness⌋f gets up ⌊to accuse⌋g anyone to testify against him falsely, 17 then the two men ⌊to whom the legal dispute pertains⌋h shall stand ⌊before⌋i Yahweh, ⌊before⌋j the priests and the judges who are in office in those days. 18 Then judges shall make a thorough inquiry, and if it turns outk that the witness is a false witness and he testified falsely against his brother, 19 then you shall do to him as he meantl to do to his brother, and so you shall purge the evil from your midst. 20 ⌊And the rest⌋m shall hear and shall fear, and ⌊they shall not continue to do such a thing again⌋n as this evil thing in your midst. 21 ⌊You must show no pity⌋:o life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.”
