What happensPermalink
Moses gives rules about the cities of refuge, land boundaries, and witnesses in trials.
Why it mattersPermalink
God is just. The innocent are to be protected by trials and honest witnesses; the guilty are to be punished, as are false witnesses.
Key versePermalink
“A single witness shall not suffice against a person for any crime or for any wrong in connection with any offense that he has committed. Only on the evidence of two witnesses or of three witnesses shall a charge be established.”
