Deuteronomy 19:17-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ the two people who are arguing must stand in the presence of the Lord before the priests and judges who are ·on duty [in office in those days]. ¹⁸ The judges must check the matter carefully. The witness who is a liar, lying about a ·fellow Israelite [relative; brother], ¹⁹ must be punished. He must be punished in the same way the ·other person [relative; brother] would have been punished. You must ·get rid of [banish; purge] the evil among you.
