The Key Word — חָמָס, cha.Masgenerated
The Hebrew word חָמָס (chamac) refers to injustice or violence, emphasizing wrongful actions against others. It is often used in contexts that condemn oppressive behavior and highlight the need for fairness and justice.
In this verse, it describes the nature of the accusation made by a false witness, indicating that the testimony is not only untrue but also harmful and unjust. The use of this term underscores the severity of the act of bearing false witness.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
Translations generally agree on the meaning of חָמָס, with most versions rendering it as 'injustice' or 'violence.' The BSB uses 'injustice,' while the KJV and ASV opt for 'violence.'
Where translations differ is in the rendering of the phrase 'against someone,' with versions like the WEB and BBE maintaining a similar structure to the BSB, while others may vary slightly in phrasing.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb יָק֥וּם (he will stand) governs the main clause, which describes the action of a false witness. The structure includes prepositional phrases that clarify the context of the testimony and the nature of the accusation.
The word order emphasizes the importance of the witness's role in the legal process, highlighting the gravity of standing up to testify against someone.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates יָק֥וּם as καταστῇ — he will stand — which carries a similar meaning but may suggest a more definitive establishment of the witness's position. This choice indicates a focus on the authority of the testimony being given.
The choice of μάρτυς for עֵד reinforces the concept of a witness as someone who provides evidence, aligning with the legal context of the verse.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Deuteronomy 19:16 warns against false witnesses who accuse someone of wrongdoing. It emphasizes that a single witness is not enough to establish guilt, and multiple testimonies are required to ensure justice.

Multiple testimonies help to establish the truth and prevent wrongful convictions based on a single person's word, ensuring that justice is served fairly.
Being a false witness can lead to severe penalties, including punishment that reflects the harm caused by the false testimony.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text is supported by the Septuagint, which matches all eight words, indicating consistency in the translation. The Samaritan Pentateuch differs slightly by adding 'and' at the beginning, but the core message remains intact. The Dead Sea Scrolls fragment contains several key words, showing that the essence of the verse has been preserved despite some editorial restoration.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.

This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man.
