SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:17
entonces los dos hombres litigantes se presentarán delante del SEÑOR, delante de los sacerdotes y jueces que fueren en aquellos días;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 17. Then both the men between whom the controversy is , etc.] 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 17:9,12) 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 f234 , an oath of witness is made by men, and not by women; on which it is observed that a woman is not fit to bear witness, as it is written, then both the men , etc.] men and not women; and the above writer remarks further, that it teaches that they ought to bear testimony standing.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-21 - Sentence should never be passed upon the testimony of one witnes alone. A false witness should suffer the same punishment which he sought to have inflicted upon the person he accused. Nor could any la be more just. Let all Christians not only be cautious in bearin witness in public, but be careful not to join in private slanders; an let all whose consciences accuse them of crime, without delay flee for refuge to the hope set before them in Jesus Christ __________________________________________________________________
