1) What's the punishment for not doing these things?
2) How old do we think the torah is?
3) Are there actual words for "wholesaler" and "retailer" in the talmud? Or how are those ideas described?
4) Is there some cost to the cleaning of scales and weights, such that everyone isn't just required to do it all the time? Is there some reason it's desireable to minimize the cleaning?
(Am interested in the history of laws re honesty in commerce, esp regulation of weights and measures.)
