Verse 13 is found in chapter 25 of Deuteronomy. Measures against commercial deception are established, and Israel is commanded to erase the memory of Amalek because of its attack when the people were vulnerable. Honesty in transactions and memory of historical aggression appear together as matters of justice. Israel must remember both how it should behave toward its neighbors and the violence it suffered on the journey from Egypt.

Du sollst nicht zweierlei Gewicht in deinem Sack, groß und klein, haben;
No tendrás en tu bolsa pesa grande y pesa chica.
No tendrás en tu bolsa pesas desiguales, una grande y otra pequeña.
Tu n'auras point dans ton sac deux sortes de poids, un gros et un petit.
NON aver nel tuo sacchetto peso e peso; grande e piccolo.
Na tua bolsa não terás pesos diversos, um grande e um pequeno.
「你袋中不可有一大一小兩樣的法碼。
