Leviticus 19:35-36

36You must have honest balances, ▼▼tn Heb “balances of righteousness,” and so throughout this sentence.
honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin. ▼▼sn An ephah is a dry measure which measures about four gallons, or perhaps one third of a bushel, while a hin is a liquid measure of about 3.6 liters (= approximately 1 gallon).
I am the Lord your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt.
