Lev. 19:36 in context

Lev. 19:35      Lev. 19:37

Leviticus 19:36


Fair scales [for weighing – also figuratively for judging]
– fair weights [weights for the balance scales]; a just ephah [standard measure for measuring dry goods – 22 liters] and
a just hin [standard measure for measuring liquids – 3.5 liters] shall you have.
[These two verses deal with honesty in transactions – just weights and measures. This passage relates directly to the commandments in verses 11–18 about not stealing, lying, and deceiving, but loving your neighbor. Standardized weights and measures are mentioned in Hammurabi's laws. It is interesting that in a passage that deals precisely with the right balance, "weight" is central in verse 35. The word weight in verse 35 is surrounded by two words for measures that balance the two measures efa and hin in verse 36. Verses 35-36 are well balanced with the words scales and stone central. Even the arrangement of words illustrates a well-balanced scale!] I am the Lord (Yahweh) your God (Elohim),
who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
