Deuteronomy 19:14 Deuteronomy20:13

14 You shall not move your neighbor’s boundary marker, which your ancestors have set, in your inheritance, which you will inherit in the land which Jehovah your God is giving you to possess.

15 One witness only shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity or for any sin which he has committed; at the word of two witnesses or at the word of three witnesses shall a matter be established.

16 If a malicious witness rises up against a man to testify against him of wrongdoing,

17 The two men who have the dispute shall stand before Jehovah, before the priests and the judges who are serving in those days.

18 And the judges shall investigate thoroughly; and if indeed the witness is a false witness, if he has testified falsely against his brother,

19 You shall do to him as he intended to do to his brother. Thus you shall utterly remove the evil from your midst.

20 And those who remain will hear and will fear and will never again do anything like this evil thing in your midst.

21 And your eye shall not pity: a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot.

CHAPTER 20

1 When you go forth into battle against your enemies, and you see horse and chariot, a people more numerous than you, you shall not fear them; for Jehovah your God is with you, He who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.

2 And when you draw near to the battle, the priest shall approach and speak to the people,

3 And he shall say to them, Hear, O Israel! You are drawing near to the battle against your enemies today. Do not let your heart fail; do not be afraid nor alarmed nor terrified of them.

4 For it is Jehovah your God who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.

5 And the officers shall speak to the people, saying, Is there any man who has built a new house and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man dedicate it.

6 Is there any man who has planted a vineyard and has not partaken of it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man partake of it.

7 Is there any man who has gotten engaged to a woman and has not taken her to himself? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man take her to himself.

8 And the officers shall speak further to the people and say, Is there any man who is afraid and whose heart fails? Let him go and return to his house, so that the heart of his brothers does not melt like his heart.

9 And when the officers have finished speaking to the people, they shall appoint commanders of the armies at the head of the people.

10 When you draw near to a city to fight against it, you shall proclaim peace to it.

11 And if it responds with peace to you and opens its gates to you, all the people found within it shall become your forced labor; and they shall serve you.

12 But if it does not make peace with you, but rather engages in battle with you, you shall besiege it.

13 And when Jehovah your God delivers it into your hand, you shall slay every male in it with the edge of the sword.
