Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.
Moses is giving instruction to the leaders on how to hear a matter. When ministering unto people and hearing the matter out, show no partiality. It is easy to hear one side of a story and take that person's side. There is another side to the story. Go find it out so you will not be partial. Also when having to say hard things to people, do not fear their face. Say what needs to be said if it is given by the Holy Spirit! Go love on people with God's word!!
