10
lest innocent blood be shed in the midst of your land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, and thus guilt of bloodshed be upon you.
11
"But if anyone hates his neighbor, lies in wait for him, rises against him and strikes him mortally, so that he dies, and he flees to one of these cities,
12
then the elders of his city shall send and bring him from there, and deliver him over to the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
13
Your eye shall not pity him, but you shall put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with you.
14
"You shall not remove your neighbor's landmark, which the men of old have set, in your inheritance which you will inherit in the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess.
15
"One witness shall not rise against a man concerning any iniquity or any sin that he commits; by the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established.
16
If a false witness rises against any man to testify against him of wrongdoing,
17
then both men in the controversy shall stand before the Lord, before the priests and the judges who serve in those days.
18
And the judges shall make careful inquiry, and indeed, if the witness is a false witness, who has testified falsely against his brother,
19
then you shall do to him as he thought to have done to his brother; so you shall put away the evil from among you.
20
And those who remain shall hear and fear, and hereafter they shall not again commit such evil among you.
21
Your eye shall not pity: life shall be for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
