12 then the elders of his city shall send and take him from there and deliver him into the hand of the avenger {Heb. redeemer} of blood, and he shall die.
13 Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel that it may go well with thee.
14 Thou shalt not reduce thy neighbour’s border, which those of old time have marked in thine inheritance, which thou shalt possess in the land that the Lord thy God gives thee to inherit.
15 One witness shall not be valid against a man for any iniquity or for any sin, in any sin which he should commit. At the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
16 When a false witness rises up against any man to testify rebellion against him,
17 then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the Lord, before the priests and the judges, who shall be in those days;
