Rules About Witnesses

¹⁵ One witness is not enough to accuse a person of a crime or sin. A case must be proved by two or three witnesses [17:6; Num. 35:30].

¹⁶ If a witness ·lies [is malicious/unjust] and accuses a person of a crime, ¹⁷ the two people who are arguing must stand in the presence of the Lord before the priests and judges who are ·on duty [in office in those days].
