rsv@Deuteronomy:19:16 @ If a malicious witness rises against any man to accuse him of wrongdoing,
rsv@Deuteronomy:19:17 @ then both parties to the dispute shall appear before the LORD, before the priests and the judges who are in office in those days;
rsv@Deuteronomy:19:18 @ the judges shall inquire diligently, and if the witness is a false witness and has accused his brother falsely,
rsv@Deuteronomy:19:19 @ 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.
rsv@Deuteronomy:19:20 @ And the rest shall hear, and fear, and shall never again commit any such evil among you.
rsv@Deuteronomy:19:21 @ Your eye shall not pity; it shall be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
