Punishment: Death Penalty for Murder

And surely I will require the life of any man or beast by whose hand your lifeblood is shed. I will demand an accounting from anyone who takes the life of his fellow man:

Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind.

If, however, anyone strikes a person with an iron object and kills him, he is a murderer; the murderer must surely be put to death. …

If anyone kills a person, the murderer is to be put to death on the testimony of the witnesses. But no one is to be put to death based on the testimony of a lone witness. …

On the testimony of two or three witnesses a man shall be put to death, but he shall not be executed on the testimony of a lone witness.
