What is the word "Ve'hikriv Osah ha'Kohen" coming to preclude?

1.

Sotah 8a: It precludes giving two Sotos Mei Sotah to drink simultaneously - so that, in the event that one of them is guilty, she will not be encouraged to deny her guilt when she sees the other one pleading innocent. 1

See also Torah Temmah, note 85, who elaborates.

2)

What are the implications of the word "Ve'he'emidah Lifnei Hashem" - as opposed to 'Ve'amdah '?

1.

Sifri: It implies that the Kohen stands her alone before Hashem - without her servants and maidservants, seeing as their very presence will encourage her to stubbornly deny her guilt. 1
