13. They must have no pity on him. The guilt of murdering an innocent person must be removed from Israel. Then things will go well for Israel.
14. Never move your neighbor’s original boundary marker on any property in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
15. One witness is never enough to convict someone of a crime, offense, or sin he may have committed. Cases must be settled based on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
16. This is what you must do whenever a witness takes the stand to accuse a person falsely of a crime.
17. The two people involved must stand in the Lord’s presence, in front of the priests and judges who are serving at that time.
18. The judges must make a thorough investigation. If it is found that the witness lied when he testified against the other Israelite,
19. then do to him what he planned to do to the other person. You must get rid of this evil.
20. When the rest of the people hear about this, they will be afraid. Never again will such an evil thing be done among you.
21. Have no pity on him: ⌊Take⌋ a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, and a foot for a foot.
