מֹ֧אזְנֵי צֶ֣דֶק אַבְנֵי־צֶ֗דֶק אֵ֥יפַת צֶ֛דֶק וְהִ֥ין צֶ֖דֶק יִהְיֶ֣ה לָכֶ֑ם אֲנִי֙ יהוה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֔ם אֲשֶׁר־הוֹצֵ֥אתִי אֶתְכֶ֖ם מֵאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃
You shall have an honest balance, honest weights, an honest ephah measurement, and an honest hin measurement. I am God your Lord who freed you from the Land of Egypt.

אָזְנַיִם (oznayim) = Ears
מֹאזְנַיִם (moznayim) = Scale
מְאֻזָּן (me’uzan) = 1. Horizantal 2. Balanced
Find the Word!
There is a parashah in the Torah that has this שֹׁרֶשׁ (shoresh, root) in its name. Can you figure out which parashah? (Hint: it’s in Sefer Devarim.)
