Deuteronomy 17:4-6 Common English Bible (CEB)

4. and you hear news about it, then you must look into this situation very carefully. And if it’s definitely true that this detestable thing was done in Israel,

5. then you must bring out the man or woman who has done this evil thing to the gates of the city. Stone that person until he or she is dead.

6. Capital punishment must be decided by two or three witnesses. No one may be executed on the basis of only one testimony.
