אֶ֣בֶן שְׁלֵמָ֤ה וָצֶ֙דֶק֙ יִֽהְיֶה־לָּ֔ךְ אֵיפָ֧ה שְׁלֵמָ֛ה וָצֶ֖דֶק יִֽהְיֶה־לָּ֑ךְ לְמַ֙עַן֙ יַאֲרִ֣יכוּ יָמֶ֔יךָ עַ֚ל הָֽאֲדָמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ נֹתֵ֥ן לָֽךְ׃
Avrai un peso perfetto e giusto; avrai una misura perfetta e giusta; affinché i tuoi giorni siano lunghi sulla terra che l'Eterno, il tuo DIO, ti dà.
Jerusalem Talmud Bava Batra
HALAKHAH: “Somebody sent his son to a grocer,” etc. Rebbi Abba bar Mamal said, for the tenths he has to let bend down a handbreadth101In the Babli, 88b, R. Abba bar Mamal explains that the bending down of the scales should correspond to 1/10 of a pound for every 10 pounds, or 1%.. It is written102Lev. 19:36.: “Fair scales, fair weights.” From here103It is not from here but from Deut. 25:15: “A full and fair weightstone you shall have, a full and fair ephah you shall have, that your days be prolonged on the land which the Eternal, your God, gives to you.” the Sages said that any commandment whose reward is noted, the court is not warned about. “You shall have,104Deut. 25:15; in Lev. 19:36 the plural is used, יִהְיֶה לָכֶם. It is a generally accepted talmudic principle of interpretation that a commandment formulated in the plural is addressed to every individual. In Lev. 19:36, the verse ends: I am the Eternal, your God, I Who took you out from the land of Egypt, on which Sifra Qedošim Pereq8(10) notes: “On condition that you accept the obligation of fair measures, for every person who accepts the obligation of fair measures confirms the Exodus, and everyone who violates the obligation of fair measures negates the Exodus.” But commandments in the singular are considered as commandments in the collective, addressed to the community.” appoint market overseers105Greek ἀγορανόμος. In Demay2:1 (23c l. 26, Note 22) the transliteration is אגורנימום. over this106Babli 89a, Sifry Deut. 294. This inference clearly contradicts the prior statement that oversight over measures is not a public duty.. Rebbi Abun bar Ḥiyya said, so is the baraita: Any commandment whose reward is noted the court is not punished about. Rav was appointed market overseer by the Head of the Diaspora107Over Jewish markets in Babylonia.; he intervened about measuring vessels but not prices108In the Roman Empire, price control was introduced by Diocletian. But Rav was trained in Galilee under the Severans, almost a century before Diocletian. In Demay also, control of prices is described as an anomaly.. The Head of the Diaspora jailed him. Rav Qarna went to see him and said, the market overseer about whom they spoke was for measures but not prices. He answered, but you had stated: the market overseer is for both measures and prices109In the Babli, 89a, it is reported that Qarna taught this against the explicit instructions of Samuel; and that in consequence a horn grew on his forehead for which he was called Qarna.. He said to him, go out and tell them, the market overseer is for measures but not prices. He went out and said to them, a person who teaches hidden things they send to jail!
