5 you shall bring the man or the woman who has done this evil deed out to your gates and stone the man or the woman to death.
6 Only on the testimony of two or three witnesses shall a person be put to death; no one shall be put to death on the testimony of only one witness.
7 The hands of the witnesses shall be the first raised to put the person to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst.
8 If there is a case for judgment which proves too baffling for you to decide, in a matter of bloodshed or of law or of injury, matters of dispute within your gates, you shall then go up to the place which the Lord, your God, will choose,
9 to the levitical priests or to the judge who is in office at that time. They shall investigate the case and then announce to you the decision.
10 You shall act according to the decision they announce to you in the place which the Lord will choose, carefully observing everything as they instruct you.
11 You shall carry out the instruction they give you and the judgment they pronounce, without turning aside either to the right or left from the decision they announce to you.
