"A perfect and just weight you must have"
In the ancient Near East, people weighed gold and silver on a scale and used it as money. God was commanding people to use accurate weights for weighing the gold and silver. He did not want them to rob people by using inaccurate weights. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit)
