Part 6 – ACCURATE MEASURES
Deuteronomy 25:13-16 has some very salient wisdom, which is as modern and relevant as today. God commands that all weights and measures be equitable. In other words, when you buy something that claims to be 1 kilogram, it ought to be 1 kilogram, and the same goes for all and every transaction for any and every product.
Who could argue with this rule? There is nothing outdated or old fashioned about it. The whole commercial world runs on the assumption that people get fair value for money, and a whole genre of TV feeds off cases where unfair weights and measures have been used.
This is also why many countries have a preserved weight or measure somewhere safe from which all other weights and measures are ascertained. This is why the world has an atomic clock, and a Greenwich Meantime, and the word tare on trucks, and energy consumption stickers on washing machines, and so on.
Any business that does not charge fair price for accurate measures is courting disaster.
