1Soon you will go into the land and attack the nations. The LORD your God will destroy them and give you their lands, towns, and homes. Then after you are settled,Witnesses must tell the truthMoses said to Israel:
15Before you are convicted of a crime, at least two witnesses must be able to testify that you did it.
16If you accuse someone of a crime, but seem to be lying,
17-18then both you and the accused must be taken to the court at the place where the LORD is worshipped. There the priests and judges will find out if you are lying or telling the truth.
If you are lying and the accused is innocent,
19-21then you will be punished without mercy. You will receive the same punishment the accused would have received if found guilty, whether it means losing an eye, a tooth, a hand, a foot, or even your life.
Israel, the crime of telling lies in court must be punished. And when people hear what happens to witnesses that lie, everyone else who testifies in court will tell the truth.
