Deuteronomy 17:7-9

Modern English Version

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.

Courts of Law

⁸ If there arises a matter too difficult for you in judgment, between one kind of bloodshed and another, between one kind of lawsuit and 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.
