Contextual Overview
14You do not remove a border of your neighbor, which they of former times have made, in your inheritance, which you inherit in the land which your God YHWH is giving to you to possess it. 15One witness does not rise against a man for any iniquity and for any sin, in any sin which he sins; by the mouth of two witnesses or by the mouth of three witnesses is a thing established. 16When a violent witness rises against a man to testify against him apostasy, 17then both of the men who have the strife have stood before YHWH, before the priests and the judges who are in those days,18and the judges have searched diligently, and behold, the witness [is] a false witness who has testified a falsehood against his brother, 19then you have done to him as he devised to do to his brother, and you have put away evil out of your midst, 20and those who are left hear and fear, and do not add to do according to this evil thing in your midst anymore. 21And your eye does not pity—life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then both the men between whom the controversy is,.... The man that bears the false witness, and the man against whom it is borne:
shall stand before the Lord; as in the presence of him, the omniscient God, and as represented by judges and civil magistrates, whose vicegerents they are; so it seems to be explained in the next words, which are exegetical of these:
before the priests and the judges which shall be in those days; which shall compose the sanhedrim, or court of judicature; and this seems to confirm it, that by priest and judge, in Deuteronomy 17:9 are meant priests and judges; Jarchi says, this Scripture speaks of witnesses, that is, of the false witness that testifies wrong against a man, and another that contradicts his testimony, and teaches that there is no witness by women; and so it is elsewhere said a, an oath of witness is made by men, and not by women; on which it is observed b that a woman is not fit to bear witness, as it is written,
then both the men,.... men and not women; and the above writer remarks further, that it teaches that they ought to bear testimony standing.
a Misn. Shebuot, c. 4. sect. 1. b Bartenora in ib.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Both the men, between whom the controversy is - Not the accused and the false witness, but the plaintiff and defendant (compare Exodus 23:1) who were summoned before the supreme court held, as provided in Deuteronomy 17:0, at the sanctuary. The judges acted as God’s representative; to lie to them was to lie to Him.
