“The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.”
The hands of the witnesses shall be first against the person to put the death penalty into execution, and afterward the hands of all the people; so you shall purge the evil from your midst — the witnesses' direct participation in execution ensures they bear responsibility for their testimony, while communal participation transforms capital punishment into covenant maintenance.
