### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: The Torah forbids it in judgment and in weights and measures, meaning courts and shops must both be fair. Interpretation: The rabbis read this as a command to judge fairly without favoring the poor or the great. They teach that each person must be judged by fairness alone.
