Moses is describing a possible condition in which the people are to do the punishment described in verse 19 only if the judges first discover that the witness is false. Express this possible condition in a way that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: [and suppose that they discover that the witness is false]

against,countryman_of,his
Moses is using the term brother to describe someone who is descended from the same ancestor. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [against his fellow Israelite]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
