Yosef Chaim

“ And behold it is known that the biles of a man are contained in a kis/pouch, and the mainstay of the health of a man is that they be in the even measure that Hashem Yitbarakh allotted them in nature, that one of them not overpower the others, and if a man does with the scales that one pan rises over the other in an unjust and deceptive fashion, then too will the balance in the biles that is natural for them be spoiled, and one will exceed the other improperly, and by this will there be a great spoiling of the man's health and he will become ill. ”

“ One is in counting, when someone counts money to the other and miscounts it, and there is the misweighing. And a man thinks he is doing something down below in materiality alone, but in truth he also touches above since he blemishes the letters of Hashem's blessed name, as it says, "Hashem tzilkha `al yad yeminekha/Hashem is your shade on your right hand" (Ps. 121) , i.e. He is like the image of a shadow, in that whatever a man does below, a corresponding thing is done above, whether good or vise-versa. ”

“ And if it is less than a liter, even for foods and drinks it is not necessary to tip it somewhat, and here in our city Bagdad this is not a clear custom. Therefore they should be careful at least with this amount which is one hundredth in liquids and one in four hundred in solids. ”
