61On the 2evidenceH6310 of twoH8147 witnessesH5707 orH176 threeH7969 witnessesH5707, he who is to dieH4191 shall be putH4191 to deathH4191; he shall not be putH4191 to deathH4191 on the 3evidenceH6310 of oneH259 witnessH5707. 74The handH3027 of the witnessesH5707 shall be firstH7223 against him to putH4191 him to deathH4191, and afterwardH314 the handH3027 of allH3605 the peopleH5971. 5So you shall purgeH1197 the evilH7451 from your midstH7130.

8“6IfH3588 any caseH1697 is tooH4480 difficultH6381 for you to decideH4941, betweenH996 7one kind of homicideH1818 or anotherH1818, betweenH996 8one kind of lawsuitH1779 or anotherH1779, and betweenH996 9one kind of assaultH5061 or anotherH5061, being casesH1697 of disputeH7379 in your 10courtsH8179, then you shall ariseH6965 and goH5927 up to 11the placeH4725 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 choosesH977. 9So you shall comeH935 to 12the LeviticalH3881 priestH3548 or the judgeH8199 whoH834 is in office in thoseH1992 daysH3117, and you shall inquireH1875 of them and they will declareH5046 to you the verdictH1697 in the caseH4941. 10You shall doH6213 accordingH5921 to the 13termsH6310 of the verdictH1697 whichH834 they declareH5046 to you from that placeH4725 whichH834 the LordH3068 choosesH977; and you shall be carefulH8104 to observeH6213 according to allH3605 that they teachH3384 you. 1114AccordingH5921 to the 15termsH6310 of the lawH8451 whichH834 they teachH3384 you, and accordingH5921 to the verdictH4941 whichH834 they tellH5046 you, you shall doH6213; you shall not turnH5493 asideH5493 from the wordH1697 whichH834 they declareH5046 to you, to the rightH3225 or the leftH8040. 12The manH376 whoH834 actsH6213 16presumptuouslyH2087 by not listeningH8085 to the priestH3548 who standsH5975 thereH8033 to serveH8334 the LordH3068 your GodH430, norH176 to the judgeH8199, that manH376 shall dieH4191; thus you shall purgeH1197 the evilH7451 from IsraelH3478.
