Halakhah for Shabbat 61:11

אמר רבא בשעה שמכניסין אדם לדין אומרים לו נשאת ונתת באמונה קבעת עתים לתורה עסקת בפו"ר צפית לישועה פלפלת בחכמה הבנת דבר מתוך דבר ואפ"ה אי יראת ה' היא אוצרו אין אי לא לא משל לאדם שאמר לשלוחו העלה לי כור חיטין לעלייה הלך והעלה לו א"ל עירבת לי בהן קב חומטון א"ל לאו א"ל מוטב אם לא העליתה

and who in His love for them He designated them, Israel is my son, my firstborn,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ex. IV, 22. ');"><sup>19</sup></span> yet it is written of them, 'and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death': how much more so a mere proselyte, who comes with his staff and wallet! Then he went before Shammai and said to him. 'Am I then eligible to be a High Priest; is it not written in the Torah, 'and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death?' He went before Hillel and said to him, 'O gentle Hillel; blessings rest on thy head for bringing me under the wings of the <i>Shechinah</i>!'<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. Glos.

Kitzur Shulchan Arukh

You should be extremely careful not to deceive your fellow man. If anyone deceives his fellow, whether a seller deceives a buyer, or a buyer deceives a seller, he transgresses a negative commandment, for it is said:1Leviticus 25: 14. "When you sell something to your neighbor, or buy from your neighbor, do not deceive one another." The first question a person is asked when he is brought before the [Heavenly] Court is: "Have you [always] been honest in your dealings?"2Shabbos 31a.
