Betoken
To betoken is to give evidence of; indicate.
According to Old Testament law, two witnesses were required to betoken an offense for the offender to incur the death penalty. (Deuteronomy 19:15)
"A single witness shall not rise up against a man on account of any iniquity or any sin which he has committed; on the evidence of two or three witnesses a matter shall be confirmed." (Deuteronomy 19:15, NASB)
In the book of Revelation, God enlists two witnesses to testify in deference to this law. (Revelation 11:3)
