Contextual Overview

14 Moses said to Israel: In the land the Lord is giving you, there are already stones set up to mark the property lines between fields. So don't move those stones. 15 Moses said to Israel: Before you are convicted of a crime, at least two witnesses must be able to testify that you did it. 16 If you accuse someone of a crime, but seem to be lying, 17then both you and the accused must be taken to the court at the place where the Lord is worshiped. 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, 19then 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.
