“Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.”
Do not use dishonest standards when measuring length, weight or quantity. The measurement integrity regulation addresses economic transactions: honest weights and measures for every transaction. The prohibition on dishonest standards protects economic integrity across all forms of trade. Proverbs 11:1 says the Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with him. The marketplace practices of the covenant community are subject to the same holiness standards as the sanctuary's offerings: honest weights, honest measures, honest dealings.
