Leviticus 19:35-37 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in
judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure. Just balances, just weights, a
just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, which brought
you out of the land of Egypt. Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and
all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD. We take accurate measurements for
granted. When we buy a can of green beans that is labeled “16 ounces”, what
would you think if there were only 15 ounces in the can? Would you feel ripped
off? Would you feel cheated? What if your dad pumped 21 gallons of gas, but ran
out early? Was the gas pump accurate? Just weights are important to the buyer
and seller. Fair measures are necessary for a good marketplace. But most
important of all, God is watching, and God expects fairness.
