6 On the testimony of two or three witnesses he that is to die must be put to death, but on the testimony of one witness he cannot be put to death.
7 The hands of the witnesses shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So you shall purge the evil from among you.
8 If there arises a matter too difficult for you in judgment, between one kind of bloodshed and another, between one kind of lawsuitand another, and between one kind of assault and another, matters of controversy within your gates, then you must arise and go up to the place where the Lord your God shall choose.
9 You must go to the Levitical priests or to the judge in office those days, and inquire, and they will show you the verdict of judgment.
10 You shall do according to the verdict which they declare to you from the place where the Lord will choose to show you, and you must be careful to do all that they instruct you to do.
11 You must do according to the terms of the law which they instruct you and according to the verdict which they tell you. You must not deviate from the sentence which they show you, to the right or to the left.
12 The man who acts presumptuously and does not listen to the priest who stands to minister before the Lord your God, or to the judge—that man must die, and you must purge the evil from Israel.
