Deuteronomy 19:18 in Context — Deuteronomy 19

16 Lorsqu’un faux témoin s’élèvera contre quelqu’un pour l’accuser d’un crime,

17 les deux hommes en contestation comparaîtront devant l’Éternel, devant les sacrificateurs et les juges alors en fonction.

18 Les juges feront avec soin des recherches. Le témoin est-il un faux témoin, a-t-il fait contre son frère une fausse déposition,

19 alors vous le traiterez comme il avait dessein de traiter son frère. Tu ôteras ainsi le mal du milieu de toi.

20 Les autres entendront et craindront, et l’on ne commettra plus un acte aussi criminel au milieu de toi.
