15. A single witness may not testify against another person for any trespass or sin that he commits. A matter may be legally established only on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
16. If a false witness testifies against another person and accuses him of a crime,
17. then both parties to the controversy must stand before the Lord, that is, before the priests and judges who will be in office in those days.
18. The judges will thoroughly investigate the matter, and if the witness should prove to be false and to have given false testimony against the accused,
19. you must do to him what he had intended to do to the accused. In this way you will purge evil from among you.
20. The rest of the people will hear and become afraid to keep doing such evil among you.
21. You must not show pity; the principle will be 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.
