Gaining Unfair Advantage Over Others

For as early as it has been documented in history, there have been people that have sought to gain an unfair advantage over others, especially in the area of commerce. One way that this was accomplished was through the use of dishonest scales. These dishonest measures unfairly tip the scales in one party’s favour in order to achieve their goal.

God does not approve of this practice because it is a form of stealing. It is a way of unrightfully defrauding others of their wealth and property. It is a clear violation of the 8th commandment.

God makes his disapproval of unjust measures known. In Lev. 19:35-36, it is written:

“You shall do no injustice in judgment, in measurement of length, weight, or volume. You shall have honest scales, honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin: I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.”
