MMIKIYA 6:9-14SSO89SOBula ka mmadi wa Bibele

Often we hear about people who charge for services they haven’t delivered or goods they have not supplied. In Biblical times, scales, weights and measures were important components in determining the price of goods.

That is what prompted the demand for honest weights and honest trading. Yet, we often hear about businesses that charge for goods they have not delivered or charge dishonest prices to the poor.
