I don't see how this is a Forgotten Trope. The "Scales of Justice" have always (or at least for many, many centuries) been a metaphorical or symbolic thing, as opposed to balance scales actually somehow being used in the middle of a trial. As compared to a Trope like the "Black Cap of Death", scales as a symbol of justice are still instantly recognizable: it's quite easy to find 21st century law firms using balance scales as part of their website logo, and for most people, the classic balance scales will immediately make us think of justice and/or law (as opposed to actually using them to weigh things).

Moses then drops a brick on the opposite scale, outweighing all the weights, to make his point that what he did was justified because the well-fed and rested slaves make far more bricks to build the city.
