Deuteronomy 17:7 in Context — Deuteronomy 17

5 Entonces sacarás al hombre ó mujer que hubiere hecho esta mala cosa, á tus puertas, hombre ó mujer, y los apedrearás con piedras, y así morirán.

6 Por dicho de dos testigos, ó de tres testigos, morirá el que hubiere de morir; no morirá por el dicho de un solo testigo.

7 La mano de los testigos será primero sobre él para matarlo, y después la mano de todo el pueblo: así quitarás el mal de en medio de ti.

8 Cuando alguna cosa te fuere oculta en juicio entre sangre y sangre, entre causa y causa, y entre llaga y llaga, en negocios de litigio en tus ciudades; entonces te levantarás y recurrirás al lugar que Jehová tu Dios escogiere;

9 Y vendrás á los sacerdotes Levitas, y al juez que fuere en aquellos días, y preguntarás; y te enseñarán la sentencia del juicio.
