Deuteronomy 19:19 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 19:19

Then shall ye do unto him as he had thought to have done unto
his brother
Inflict the same fine or punishment on him he thought to have brought his brother under by his false testimony of him; whether any pecuniary fine, or whipping and scourging, or the loss of a member, or the value of it, or death itself; whether stoning, strangling, burning, or killing with the sword: though, in the case of accusing a priest's daughter of adultery, as Jarchi observes, such were not to be burnt, as would have been her case if proved, but strangled:

so shalt thou put the evil away from among you;
the evil man that bears a false testimony of his brother, or the guilt of sin which would be incurred by conniving at him.

Deuteronomy 19:19 In-Context

17 then shall the two men between whom the controversy is, stand before the Lord, and before the priests, and before the judges, who may be in those days.

18 And the judges shall make diligent inquiry, and, behold, and unjust witness has borne unjust testimony; has stood up against his brother;

19 then shall ye do to him as he wickedly devised to do against his brother, and thou shalt remove the evil from yourselves.

20 And the rest shall hear and fear, and do no more according to this evil thing in the midst of you.

21 Thine eye shall not spare him: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
