Numbers 35:29-31

International Standard Version

²⁹ These are to be the statutes and ordinances for you throughout all your generations, regardless of where you live.”^[a]

Capital Cases Require Multiple Witnesses

³⁰ “Every murderer of a human being^[b] is to be executed only according to testimony^[c] given by multiple witnesses. A single witness is not to result in a death sentence.^{[d] 31} You are to receive no ransom for the life^[e] of a killer who is guilty of murder; instead, he is to die.
