Exegesis
The final relative clause asher yihyu ba-yamim ha-hem {אֲשֶׁר יִהְיוּ בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם | ’ă-šer yiḥ-yû ba-yā-mîm hā-hēm} ‘who will be in those days’ situates the human functionaries historically. English renders the vav-consecutive with coordination and reorders clauses for clarity while retaining the dual adjudication focus.
In context — Deuteronomy 19:17
Then the two men who have the dispute must stand before the LORD , before the priests and the judges who are in office in those days.
