Deuteronomy 25:15

Standard Weights and Measures

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.
