Deuteronomy 17:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 And it be told unto thee, and thou hast heard it, then shalt thou inquire diligently: and if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel,
5 Then shalt thou bring forth that man, or that woman (which hath committed that wicked thing) unto thy gates, whether it be man or woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
6 (A)At the mouth [a]of two or three witnesses shall he that is worthy of death, die: but at the mouth of one witness, he shall not die.

Deuteronomy 17:4-6
New International Version
4 and this has been brought to your attention, then you must investigate it thoroughly. If it is true(A) and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done in Israel,(B) 5 take the man or woman who has done this evil deed to your city gate and stone that person to death.(C) 6 On the testimony of two or three witnesses a person is to be put to death, but no one is to be put to death on the testimony of only one witness.(D)
