False weights, monetary and commercial, are, first, called injustice, and an abomination in the sight of God and hateful to Him. Second, a nation with just measures has the promise of a long life, whereas the implication is that God’s judgment is on those who falsify weights and measures in any and every area. Third, God calls “a just weight...his delight.” It is an indication of justice in a society, just as a false monetary measure such as fiat money is an indication of planned injustice. Fourth, false measures are called “the treasures of wickedness,” the essential means of falsifying the life of a society. ~ R. J. Rushdoony
