* If there be found in the midst of thee , within any one of thy gates , which the Lord thy God giveth thee . a man or a woman , that doth the wickedness in the eyes of the Lord thy God , to transgress his covenant , * And he hath gone and served other gods , and worshipped them , either the sun , or the moon , or any of the host of heaven , which I have prohibited ; * And it be told thee , and thou hearest of it : then shalt thou inquire diligently ; and , behold , if it be true , the thing is certain , such abomination hath been wrought in Israel : * Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman , who have committed this wicked thing , unto thy gates , the man or the woman , and thou shalt stone them with stones till they die . * Upon the evidence of two witnesses , or of three witnesses , shall he that is worthy of death be put to death ; he shall not be put to death upon the evidence of one witness . * The hand of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death , and the hand of all the people at the last ; and thou shalt put the evil away from the midst of thee .
