Thematic Bible
Social duties » Mercifulness » Of giving just weights
The Lord abhors dishonest scales, but an accurate weight is his delight.
I do not condone the use of rigged scales, or a bag of deceptive weights.
You must have honest balances, honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin. I am the Lord your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt.
Honest scales and balances are from the Lord; all the weights in the bag are his handiwork.
You must not have in your bag different stone weights, a heavy and a light one.
Diverse weights and diverse measures -- the Lord abhors both of them.
You must use just balances, a just dry measure (an ephah), and a just liquid measure (a bath).
