Deuteronomy 17:6-8
Amplified Bible
6 [a]On the evidence of two or three witnesses, he who is to die shall be put to death; he shall not be put to death on the evidence of [only] one witness. 7 The hand of the witnesses shall be the first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So you shall remove the evil from among you.
8 “If any case is too difficult for you to judge—between one kind of homicide and another, between one kind of lawsuit and another, between one kind of assault and another, [b]being controversial issues in your [c]courts—then you shall arise and go to the place which the Lord your God chooses.
