Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.
Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
(Leviticus 19.35.36)
Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?. That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; [yea], and sell the refuse of the wheat?
The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works. (Amos 8.4-7)

The 2nd rule is READ the FULL Context of the verse being looked at. Follow these 2 simple rules and you will be less likely to be swayed by erroneous interpretations. Good reading :)
To find the fair share of a set of measurements, first calculate the total sum of all measurements. Then, divide this sum by the number of measurements to obtain the average. This average represents the fair share, indicating what each measurement would be if they were all equal. If needed, you can also consider additional statistical measures like the median or mode to understand the distribution of the data.

The Indus Valley Civilization employed a sophisticated system of weights and measures, which was essential for trade and commerce. Archaeological findings indicate that they used standardized weights made from stone, with a consistent unit of measurement that facilitated fair transactions. This system allowed for accurate trade of goods such as grains and textiles, reflecting the civilization’s advanced understanding of mathematics and commerce. Their precision in measurements underscores the complexity and organization of their society.
