Weights and measures

Proverbs 20:10 Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD. [kjv]

σταθμιον μεγα και μικρον και μετρα δισσα ακαθαρτα ενωπιον κυριου και αμφοτερα [lxx]

Eventually, some form of weights and measures are created for precious metals and money. This leads to some form of standardization and, of course, ways to "cheat the system". God does not like this type of "cheating".

The word for "weight" above is «ζυγοις».

The modern Greek word "ζυγός" (zee-GOS) ≈ "yoke". The prefix «ζυ» is related linguistically to «δυ» as in double or two. A balance scale has two sides connected together.
The modern Greek word "ζυγίζω" (zee-Y-zo) ≈ "weigh" which has roots in the weighting of something using a balance scale.
These words are related to the English "yoke" and German "Joch" which have roots in the PIE (Proto Indo-European) root "yeug" ≈ "to join" from which the Greek terms develop.

The modern Greek word "ζεύγος" (ZEV-gos) ≈ "pair".

The modern Greek word "μετρήσει" (meh-TREE-see) ≈ "measure".
The modern Greek word "μετρά" (meh-TRA) ≈ "measure", same as in the verse above, from which we get words such as "measure", "meter", "metronome", etc.
The modern Greek word "σταθμά" (sta-THMA) ≈ "weights", same as in the verse above. The English word "stay" is related through the "*stak" ≈ "to stand, place".

Leviticus 19:35 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure. [kjv]

ου ποιησετε αδικον εν κρισει εν μετροις και εν σταθμιοις και εν ζυγοις [lxx]

The modern Greek word "δύο" (THEE-o) ≈ "two", which is related to the prefix «ζυ» as mentioned above.
The modern Greek word "σύζυγος" (SEE-zee-gos) ≈ "spouse" is, literally, "together yoked".

Returning to deceitful weights and measures, the following appears in Micah.

The word here for "bag" is «μαρσιππω».

The modern Greek word "μάρσιπο" (MAR-see-po) ≈ "pocket, marsupial".

Animals that are marsupials are animals that have pouches for their young.
