Deuteronomy 19:15-17
Lexham English Bible
15 The testimony of a single witness may not be used to convict[a] with respect to any crime and for any wrongdoing in any offense that a person[b] committed; on the evidence[c] of two witnesses or on the evidence[d] of three witnesses a charge shall be sustained.[e] 16 If a malicious witness[f] gets up to accuse[g] anyone to testify against him falsely, 17 then the two men to whom the legal dispute pertains[h] shall stand before[i] Yahweh, before[j] the priests and the judges who are in office in those days.
