two witnesses
Pair of observers
Two witnesses is a biblical and legal principle requiring testimony from at least two people to establish truth or prove an accusation.
The phrase appears in Deuteronomy and is echoed in the New Testament: By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.
In Revelation, the Two Witnesses are prophetic figures who testify during the end times before being killed and resurrected.
The principle underlies evidentiary standards in many legal systems, where uncorroborated testimony from a single witness may be insufficient for conviction.
