"Multiple Witnesses Needed for Death Penalty"


Scripture Read:

Numbers 33 - 36

Insight Verse(s):

Numbers 35:30 Whoever kills a person, the murderer shall be put to death on the testimony of witnesses; but one witness is not sufficient testimony against a person for the death penalty.

Insight Gained:

Even in the days of Moses, while wandering the desert, God was creating a judicial system that formed the backbone of the system utilized and followed in most civilizations since. One where a man was not convicted solely on the report of one witness, but through the witness of multiple people he could be found guilty and punished for his crimes.

My Prayer to God:

Lord, thank you for further revealing to me how you were and have been shaping the world since before Moses day and beyond mine. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
