LEV458 [This verse]. [T]o what [type of] "judgment" does the beginning of the verse refer to? (I.e.,., the Torah does not have any unnecessary words; thus the beginning of the verse must be referring to some type of injustice not mentioned afterward.) Our sages, z"l, said (Sifra 19:5-6) that this is a reference to [being honest in] measure, weight, and volume. This teaches us that one who measures is referred to as a judge; if he is dishonest when measuring it is as if he has carried out an injustice in judgment, and he is called iniquitous, repugnant, anathema, and loathsome. Furthermore, he causes the emergence of five phenomena, just as one who performs an injustice in judgment does: he defiles the land, desecrate Hashem's Name, drives away the Divine presence, causes the people to be downed by the sword, and leads to their being exiled from their land.
