Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.

Verse 30 is found in chapter 35 of Numbers. The final laws distinguish more precisely between accidental killing and intentional murder. Human life has such value that the shedding of blood defiles the land, and shed blood must not remain without judicial response. The passage connects justice, territorial holiness, and divine presence: the land where God dwells must not be treated as indifferent to crime.

Den Totschläger soll man töten nach dem Mund zweier Zeugen. Ein Zeuge soll nicht aussagen über eine Seele zum Tode.
Cualquiera que hiriere a alguno, por dicho de testigos, morirá el homicida: mas un solo testigo no hará fe contra alguna persona para que muera.
Si un homme tue quelqu'un, on ôtera la vie au meurtrier, sur la déposition de témoins. Un seul témoin ne suffira pas pour faire condamner une personne à mort.
Quando alcuno avrà percossa a morte una persona, sia quel micidiale ucciso, in sul dire di più testimoni; ma non possa un solo testimonio render testimonianza contro a una persona a morte.
Todo aquele que matar alguma pessoa, conforme depoimento de testemunhas, será morto; mas uma só testemunha não testemunhará contra alguém, para que morra.
「無論誰殺了人,必須憑幾個證人的口,才可把那故意殺人的處死;只憑一個證人,不足以判人死。
