Parsing a verse from the Torah, the Gemara explores the ethics of judges, and how they must judge "small and great" alike -- understood to be monetary sums at stake. The Gemara recognizes that people will try to cheat the court. Plus, a comment from Moshe (Moses) that is interpreted as a strike against him and, conversely, in his favor. Also, a twist on "zimmun," the 3 who eat and bless afterwards together - but that's not what this is.
