Deuteronomy 17:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ The people who saw the wicked act must throw the first stones to kill the person. Then everyone else must also throw stones. In that way, you must remove evil acts from among you.

⁸ It may be difficult for the judges in your towns to decide what is true. This may happen when one person has attacked or killed another person. It may happen when people cannot agree about some land. It may be anything that people in your towns are arguing about. If you do not know who is right, you must take those people to the place that the Lord your God will choose. ⁹ You must go to the Levite priests and to the judge who has authority at that time. Ask them to decide what is right and true.
