Witness: Two Necessary to Establish a Fact

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.

A lone witness is not sufficient to establish any wrongdoing or sin against a man, regardless of what offense he may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.

But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’

Even in your own Law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid.

This is the third time I am coming to you. “Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”

Do not entertain an accusation against an elder, except on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
