A man of another nation may be forced to make payment of his debt, but if your brother has anything of yours, let it go;
And the judges will have the question looked into with care: and if the witness is seen to be false and to have made a false statement against his brother,
Then do to him what it was his purpose to do to his brother: and so put away the evil from among you.
