Chapter 17 (do not corrupt the measure) | |
1. |
Beware of disguising the wedjat-measure, |
|
2. |
so as to falsify its fractions. |
|
3. |
Do not force it to overflow, |
|
4. |
nor let its belly be empty. |
|
5. |
Measure according to its true size, |
|
6. |
your hand clearing exactly. |
|
7. |
Do not make a bushel of twice its size, |
|
8. |
for then You are headed for the flood. |
|
9. |
The bushel is the Eye of God, |
|
10. |
it abhors him who trims. |
|
11. |
A measurer who indulges in cheating, |
|
12. |
his Eye seals the verdict against him. |
|
13. |
Do not accept a farmer's dues, |
|
14. |
and then assess him so as to injure him. |
|
15. |
Do not conspire with the measurer, |
|
16. |
so as to defraud the share of the residence. |
|
17. |
Greater is the might of the threshing floor, |
|
18. |
than an oath by the great throne. |
