This term is used in the New Testament to emphasize the importance of impartiality, as seen in James 2:1, "My brothers, as you hold out your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, do not show favoritism." Usage: The word הַכָּרָה is used in contexts where there is a display of favoritism or undue regard, often in judicial or social settings. It highlights the human tendency to show partiality, which is often cautioned against in biblical teachings. Context: • The concept of הַכָּרָה is significant in the biblical narrative as it addresses the issue of impartiality, especially in justice and leadership. The Bible frequently warns against showing partiality, as it can lead to injustice and corruption. For instance, in Deuteronomy 1:17, leaders are instructed, "Do not show partiality in judging; hear both small and great alike." This reflects the biblical principle that justice should be blind to status or wealth.
