Commentary on Deuteronomy 1:17
Moses' charge to the judges establishes principles of righteous judgment: hear cases impartially ('between every man and his brother'), extend justice to foreigners ('the stranger'), avoid partiality regardless of social status ('not respect persons'), and fear God alone. The command 'ye shall not be afraid of the face of man' addresses the temptation to pervert justice due to intimidation or favoritism. 'The judgment is God's' means judges act as God's representatives, accountable ultimately to Him. Hard cases were to be brought to Moses, acknowledging the limitations of human wisdom.
