“Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?”
The description of those who say when will the new moon be over that we may sell grain and the sabbath that we may offer wheat indicates the merchants' eagerness to exploit religious observances for commercial profit. The falsifying of scales indicates fraud in commerce.
