Deuteronomy 17:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ The witnesses will be the first to raise their hand against him to put him to death, then all of the people will raise their hands against him, in order to purge this evil from your midst.

Judges. ⁸ If cases come before you that are too difficult to judge, whether concerning bloodshed, or lawsuits, or assault, then take them to the place that the Lord, your God, will choose. ⁹ Go to the priests, the Levites, and the judge whose term it is, and consult with them. They will give you a verdict.
