Deuteronomy 17:7-9
New American Standard Bible
7 (A)The hands of the witnesses shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. (B)So you shall eliminate the evil from your midst.
8 “(C)If a case is too difficult for you to decide, between [a]one kind of homicide or another, between [b]one kind of lawsuit or another, and between [c]one kind of assault or another, that are cases of dispute in your [d]courts, then you shall arise and go up to (D)the place which the Lord your God chooses. 9 So you shall come to (E)the Levitical priests or the judge who is in office in those days, and you shall inquire of them and they will declare to you the [e]verdict.
