Contextual Overview
14 Thou shall not move back the boundary of thy neighbour, by which they set bounds at first, - in thine inheritance which thou shall receive in the land which Yahweh thy God is giving thee to possess. 15 One witness I shall not rise up, against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, with regard to any sin that he may commit, - at the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth of three witnesses, must a matter be establish. 16 When there shall rise up a wrongful witness against a man, - to answer against him perversely, 17 then shall the two men who are at variance stand before Yahweh, - before the priests and the judges who shall be in those days; 18 and the judges shall make diligent inquisition, - and lo! if the witness be, a false witness and, falsely, have answered against his brother, 19 then shall ye do unto him as he had thought to de unto his brother, - so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of thy midst; 20 and, they who remain shall hear and fear, - and not go on to do again according to this wicked thing, in thy midst: 21 neither shall thine eye 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.
