Contextual Overview
14 You may not remove your neighbor's landmark, which those formerly have set in your inheritance, which you shall inherit in the land which Jehovah your God is giving you, to possess it. 15 One witness shall not rise against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin which he sins. At the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses a thing shall be raised up to judgment . 16 If a vicious witness rises up against any man to charge apostasy against him, 17 then both the men who have the dispute shall stand before Jehovah, before the priests and the judges who shall be in those days. 18 And the judges shall carefully investigate and, behold, if the witness is a false witness, and he has testified falsely against his brother, 19 then you shall do to him as he plotted to do to his brother. And you shall put away the evil from among you. 20 And those who remain shall hear and fear, and thereafter shall not add to commit any such evil among you. 21 And your eye shall not pity; life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the judges shall make diligent inquisition,.... Into the case before them, into the nature of the evidence and proof that each witness brings for or against; so the Targum of Jonathan,
"the judges shall interrogate the witness, by whom these things are said, well;''
shall thoroughly examine the testimony given, and look carefully into it:
and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother; it appears plainly by full evidence that he has testified a falsehood of him.
