The book of Leviticus in the Bible states, You shall do no injustice in judgment, in measurement

Question:

The book of Leviticus in the Bible states, "You shall do no injustice in judgment, in measurement of length, weight, or volume. You shall have just balances, just weights, a just ephah, a just hin. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt." When the Israelites began using shekels for money, a just weight meant that the silver coin had a particular weight and therefore an intrinsic value.

b. How is inflation an injustice in measurement?

c. Who bears the injustice of inflation? (Religious)
