Deuteronomy 17:6-12

61On the 2testimony of two witnesses or three witnesses, the 3condemned shall be put to death; he shall not be put to death on the 4testimony of only one witness. 75The hands of the witnesses shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. 6So you shall eliminate the evil from your midst.

8“7If a case is too difficult for you to decide, between 8one kind of homicide or another, between 9one kind of lawsuit or another, and between 10one kind of assault or another, that are cases of dispute in your 11courts, then you shall arise and go up to 12the place which the Lord your God chooses. 9So you shall come to 13the Levitical priests or the judge who is in office in those days, and you shall inquire of them and they will declare to you the 14verdict. 10Then you shall act in accordance with the 15terms of the verdict which they declare to you from that place which the Lord chooses; and you shall be careful to act in accordance with everything that they instruct you to do. 1116In accordance with the 17terms of the law about which they instruct you, and in accordance with the verdict which they tell you, you shall act; you shall not turn aside from the word which they declare to you, to the right or the left. 12But the person who acts 18insolently by not listening to the priest who stands there to serve the Lord your God, nor to the judge, that person shall die; so you shall eliminate the evil from Israel.
