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 have both the men who have the strife stood before Jehovah, before the priests and the judges who are in those days,

18 and the judges have searched diligently, and lo, the witness [is] a false witness, a falsehood he hath testified against his brother:

19 `Then ye have done to him as he devised to do to his brother, and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst,

20 and those who are left do hear and fear, and add not to do any more according to this evil thing in thy midst;

21 and thine eye doth not pity -- life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
