* "
A single witness shall not prevail against a man for any crime or for any wrong in connection with any offense that he has committed ;
only on the evidence of two witnesses ,
or of three witnesses ,
shall a charge be sustained .
*
If a malicious witness rises against any man to accuse him of wrongdoing ,
*
then both parties to the dispute shall appear before the LORD ,
before the priests and the judges who are in office in those days ;
*
the judges shall inquire diligently ,
and if the witness is a false witness and has accused his brother falsely ,
*
then you shall do to him as he had meant to do to his brother ;
so you shall purge the evil from the midst of you .
*
And the rest shall hear ,
and fear ,
and shall never again commit any such evil among you .
*
Your eye shall not pity ;
it shall be life for life ,
eye for eye ,
tooth for tooth ,
hand for hand ,
foot for foot .
