Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 25:13–16

¹³You shall not have two differing weights in your bag, one heavy and one light. ¹⁴You shall not have two differing measures in your house, one large and one small.

¹⁵You must maintain accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you. ¹⁶For everyone who behaves dishonestly in regard to these things is detestable to the LORD your God.
