10. so that innocent blood is not shed in the midst of your land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you as an inheritance, or blood-guilt shall be upon you.
11. “But when anyone hates his neighbour, and shall lie in wait for him and rise against him and smite the life from him so that he dies, then he shall flee to one of these cities,
12. and the elders of his city shall send and bring him from there, and give him into the hand of the revenger of blood, and he shall die.
13. “Your eye shall not pardon him, but you shall purge the blood of innocent blood from Yisra’ĕl, so that it might be well with you.
14. “Do not remove your neighbour’s boundary, which those in the past have set, in your inheritance which you inherit in the land that יהוה your Elohim is giving you to possess.
15. “One witness does not rise up against a man concerning any crookedness or any sin that he commits. At the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth of three witnesses a matter is established.
16. “When a malicious witness rises up against any man to accuse him of turning aside,
17. then both men who have the dispute shall stand before יהוה, before the priests and the judges who serve in those days.
18. “And the judges shall diligently search and see if the witness is a false witness, who has falsely accused his brother,
19. then you shall do to him as he thought to have done to his brother. Thus you shall purge the evil from your midst.
20. “And let the rest hear and fear, and never again do this evil matter in your midst.
