LEV803 (Continued from [[LEV458]] Leviticus 19:15 judgment GATES 265). Similarly, the pasuk says: [this and next verse]. "In measure" -- this refers to land measure (I.e., the method used for measuring plots of land. See Bava Basra 89b); "in weight" -- as it implies; "in volume" -- this is liquid and dry measure; "accurate weights" -- these are the balancing weights used on a scale; "eifah" --this is dry measure; "a hin"--this is liquid measure. "I am Hashem, your God, Who took you out…" -- I differentiated in Egypt between the [seminal] drop of a firstborn and that of a non-firstborn (I.e., just like Hashem differentiated who was an Egyptian first born in order to kill him, so too He will discern who is cheating and punish him), and I can be trusted to exact punishment from one who immerses his weights in salt (I.e., In order to change their weight; Rashbam and Tosafos (ibid.) in order to mislead people who are unknowledgeable in these matters.
