Then the two men, between whom the argument has taken place, are to come before the Lord, before the priests and judges who are then in power;
And the judges will have the question looked into with care: and if the witness is seen to be false and to have made a false statement against his brother,
Then do to him what it was his purpose to do to his brother: and so put away the evil from among you.
And the rest of the people, hearing of it, will be full of fear, and never again do such evil among you.
Have no pity; let life be given for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
