Hi,
"We are commanded to make our scales, weights and
measures very precise, and to be exact in their calibration when we make them,
as Vayikra 19:36 says, 'Precise scales, precise stones [weights], precise ephah
[dry volume measures] and precise hin [liquid volume measures] you shall
have.'
"The same is true for measuring land; one must be exact
in calculating the dimensions of land, based on recorded geometric principles.
Even [an error of] a finger's breadth of land is evaluated as though it was
full of [expensive] saffron."
(Rambam, Mishneh Torah, Laws of Theft 8:1)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
