The Ninth Commandment says, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor." (Exodus 20:16) The Ninth Commandment is a summarized statement, a brief heading under which we find a number of laws governing court procedure. More specifically, this commandment regulates such things as slander, perjury, lying, double witnesses needed to convict anyone of sin, and the principles of justice and mercy in general. Knowing these laws are critical in order to discern correctly and render righteous judgment, both in the Divine court and in our personal lives.
Chapter titles include: Slander, stumblingblocks, perjury, the law of the double witness, the Supreme Court of God, equal weights and measures, the woman caught in adultery, the Benjamite war, God's Sovereignty vrs. man's authority, the saints shall judge the world, discerning true justice, and God's method of subduing the earth.
