"Lying" in common English, and you can say whatever you want to say.
I'm referring to what the original Hebrew scripture actually says, and considering the context of 'witness' from the time: witnesses caused conviction of people for crimes and this could entail very harsh sentences. It does make historical and biblical sense, just like 'thou shall not murder' makes sense rather than the mistranslation of 'kill', because 'normal' killing was fairly common, considering all the wars, brigands, etc. and that there was no police force.
Don't mistake modern life for ancient times or first world life for third world existence... they survived and guess what? They had the same IQs as we have now, so anything we could come up with they probably already did, for good and bad.
I use KJV only bc it has only been translated once, I am what is called a literal Christian, I only believe the scriptures that are written in the KJV. I don't believe in your annotated one simply bc man has interpreted it to what he thinks it should mean . Too many preachers take parts out of context and pick and choose, for example. It says the affemenent and homo will not enter the Kingdom of heaven, ok that's true but in the same paragraph it list , adulters alcoholics and several more, you can't pick and choose, it's one way or the other you are with me or against me says Jesus. No in between ! Be wary of false doctrine.
I'd say bearing false witness is exactly lieing , lieing about the truth.

What Bible do you use ?
An annotated research one that I've had since college, plus Greek and Latin references. You?
