Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.
You shall not have two differing measures in your house, one large and one small.
But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
