For the message God delivered through angels has always stood firm, and every violation of the law and every act of disobedience was punished.

“ You must not convict anyone of a crime on the testimony of only one witness. The facts of the case must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.

But if you are unsuccessful, take one or two others with you and go back again, so that everything you say may be confirmed by two or three witnesses.

Your own law says that if two people agree about something, their witness is accepted as fact.

The people are like the dead branches of a tree, broken off and used for kindling beneath the cooking pots. Israel is a foolish and stupid nation, for its people have turned away from God. Therefore, the one who made them will show them no pity or mercy.

Why, then, have you despised the word of the Lord and done this horrible deed? For you have murdered Uriah the Hittite with the sword of the Ammonites and stolen his wife.

This is the third time I am coming to visit you( and as the Scriptures say,“ The facts of every case must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses”).

I will smash them against each other, even parents against children, says the Lord. I will not let my pity or mercy or compassion keep me from destroying them.’”

“ But those who brazenly violate the Lord’s will, whether native born Israelites or foreigners, have blasphemed the Lord, and they must be cut off from the community.Since they have treated the Lord’s word with contempt and deliberately disobeyed his command, they must be completely cut off and suffer the punishment for their guilt.”

Then David confessed to Nathan,“ I have sinned against the Lord.” Nathan replied,“ Yes, but the Lord has forgiven you, and you won’t die for this sin.

So the whole community took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Do not feel sorry for that murderer! Purge from Israel the guilt of murdering innocent people; then all will go well with you.

“ When you begin living in the towns the Lord your God is giving you, a man or woman among you might do evil in the sight of the Lord your God and violate the covenant.For instance, they might serve other gods or worship the sun, the moon, or any of the stars— the forces of heaven— which I have strictly forbidden.When you hear about it, investigate the matter thoroughly. If it is true that this detestable thing has been done in Israel,then the man or woman who has committed such an evil act must be taken to the gates of the town and stoned to death.But never put a person to death on the testimony of only one witness. There must always be two or three witnesses.The witnesses must throw the first stones, and then all the people may join in. In this way, you will purge the evil from among you.“ Suppose a case arises in a local court that is too hard for you to decide— for instance, whether someone is guilty of murder or only of manslaughter, or a difficult lawsuit, or a case involving different kinds of assault. Take such legal cases to the place the Lord your God will choose,and present them to the Levitical priests or the judge on duty at that time. They will hear the case and declare the verdict.You must carry out the verdict they announce and the sentence they prescribe at the place the Lord chooses. You must do exactly what they say.After they have interpreted the law and declared their verdict, the sentence they impose must be fully executed; do not modify it in any way.Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the Lord your God must die. In this way you will purge the evil from Israel.Then everyone else will hear about it and be afraid to act so arrogantly.

For God said to Moses,“ I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.”

There will be no mercy for those who have not shown mercy to others. But if you have been merciful, God will be merciful when he judges you.

“ Suppose someone secretly entices you— even your brother, your son or daughter, your beloved wife, or your closest friend— and says,‘ Let us go worship other gods’— gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known.They might suggest that you worship the gods of peoples who live nearby or who come from the ends of the earth.But do not give in or listen. Have no pity, and do not spare or protect them.You must put them to death! Strike the first blow yourself, and then all the people must join in.Stone the guilty ones to death because they have tried to draw you away from the Lord your God, who rescued you from the land of Egypt, the place of slavery.
