Soul deals with the body in terms of measurements; prevents doubt of Amalek. Use of false weights and measures is an attempt to “dress-up” the act of theft as an act of honesty; similar to the actions of the Egyptians.
רמב"ם זכב
Robbery and Teshuvah
Helping another Jew on the path to return should not be done for personal gain; but should be done even if involves loss. Act of robbery is compared to murder, since act of robbery deprives the victim of some inherent rights of life. Thus, if a stolen object is not extant, then decree is to not accept monetary compensation when the robber wishes to do Teshuvah; monetary compensation not sufficient to make the victim complete for loss of object.
רמב"ם לבא
Saving a Life
If one is aware of a situation to save another (spiritually), then it is a sign that one is capable of succeeding. One is obligated to endanger one’s own life in the act of saving the life of another; this is conditional on a certainness exists that the other’s life can be saved.
