Leviticus 19:35-36

35 You must not do injustice in the regulation of measures, whether of length, weight, or volume. ^{▼▼ That is, liquid capacity (HALOT 640 s.v. מְשׂוּרָה). Cf. ASV, NIV, NRSV, TEV “quantity”; NAB, NASB “capacity.”} 36 You must have honest balances, ^{▼▼ Heb “balances of righteousness,” and so throughout this sentence.} honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin. ^{▼▼ 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 quart).} I am the Lord your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt.
