och som säger: När ska nymånadsdagen ta slut, så att vi får sälja säd? Och sabbaten, så att vi får öppna vetemagasinet, och göra efa-måttet mindre och sikeln större och fuska med vågen för att bedra,

Då ska vi minska efa-måttet [volymmått på 35 liter – så att köparen får mindre säd och korn] och öka shekeln [viktenhet på 11,5 gram för betalning av silver och guld – så köparen får betala mer] och förvränga vågen. [Ett sätt var att manipulera vågens mittpunkt så den vägda mängden såg tyngre ut än den faktiskt var, och därmed lura köparen.]
