(Lost) Commandments of Akhenaten

1	Beware of disguising the wedjat-measure,
2	so as to falsify its fractions.
3	Do not force it to overflow,
4	nor let its belly be empty.
5	Measure according to its true size,
6	your hand clearing exactly.
7	Do not make a bushel of twice its size,
8	for then You are headed for the flood.
9	The bushel is the Eye of God,
10	it abhors him who trims.
11	A measurer who indulges in cheating,
12	his Eye seals the verdict against him.
13	Do not accept a farmer's dues,
14	and then assess him so as to injure him.
15	Do not conspire with the measurer,
16	so as to defraud the share of the residence.
17	Greater is the might of the threshing floor,
18	than an oath by the great throne.

17 Do not corrupt the measure
