Deuteronomy 17:7-9

New Century Version

⁷ The witnesses must be the first to throw stones at the person, and then everyone else will follow. You must get rid of the evil among you.

Courts of Law

⁸ Some cases that come before you, such as murder, quarreling, or attack, may be too difficult to judge. Take these cases to the place the Lord your God will choose. ⁹ Go to the priests who are Levites and to the judge who is on duty at that time. Ask them about the case, and they will decide.
