19 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica

15"A single witness shall not prevail against a man for any crime or for any wrong in connection with any offence that he has committed; only on the evidence of two witnesses, or of three witnesses, shall a charge be sustained.Witnesses. Dt.19.15-21לֹא־יָקוּם עֵד אֶחָד בְּאִישׁ לְכָל־עָוֹן וּלְכָל־חַטָּאת בְּכָל־חֵטְא אֲשֶׁר יֶחֱטָא עַל־פִּי שְׁנֵי עֵדִים אֹו עַל־פִּי שְׁלֹשָׁה־עֵדִים יָקוּם דָּבָר׃
16If a malicious witness rises against any man to accuse him of wrongdoing, כִּי־יָקוּם עֵד־חָמָס בְּאִישׁ לַעֲנֹות בֹּו סָרָה׃
17then both parties to the dispute shall appear before Yahweh, before the priests and the judges who are in office in those days; וְעָמְדוּ שְׁנֵי־הָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר־לָהֶם הָרִיב לִפְנֵי יְהוָה לִפְנֵי הַכֹּהֲנִים וְהַשֹּׁפְטִים אֲשֶׁר יִהְיוּ בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם׃
18the judges shall inquire diligently, and if the witness is a false witness and has accused his brother falsely, וְדָרְשׁוּ הַשֹּׁפְטִים הֵיטֵב וְהִנֵּה עֵד־שֶׁקֶר הָעֵד שֶׁקֶר עָנָה בְאָחִיו׃
19then you shall do to him as he had meant to do to his brother; so you shall purge the evil from the midst of you. וַעֲשִׂיתֶם לֹו כַּאֲשֶׁר זָםַם לַעֲשֹׂות לְאָחִיו וּבִעַרְתָּ הָרָע מִקִּרְבֶּךָ׃
20And the rest shall hear, and fear, and shall never again commit any such evil among you. וְהַנִּשְׁאָרִים יִשְׁמְעוּ וְיִרָאוּ וְלֹא־יֹסִפוּ לַעֲשֹׂות עֹוד כַּדָּבָר הָרָע הַזֶּה בְּקִרְבֶּךָ׃
21Your eye shall not pity; it shall be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. וְלֹא תָחֹוס עֵינֶךָ נֶפֶשׁ בְּנֶפֶשׁ עַיִן בְּעַיִן שֵׁן בְּשֵׁן יָד בְּיָד רֶגֶל בְּרָגֶל׃ ס

Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
