Hebrews 10:28

28 In the old agreement, anyone who refused to obey Moses' rules had to die. If two or three people said that he had done a bad thing, that person had to die. They would not forgive him.

10:28Israel's people could not punish someone unless there were two or three people who saw him do a bad thing. If these people could say that he had done a bad thing against God's laws, then the person had to be punished. If someone killed another person, that person should die. See Deuteronomy 17:6; Numbers 35:30.
