Deuteronomy 25:13

WEB

You shall not have in your bag diverse weights, a great and a small.

KJV

Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.

Commentary

Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights,.... Or, "a stone and a stone" (y); it being usual, in t hose times and countries, to have their weights of stone, as it was formerly with us here; we still say, that such a commodity is worth so much per stone, a stone being of such a weight; now these were not to be different: a great and a small; great weights, to buy with them, and small weights, to sell with them, as the Targum of Jonathan paraphrases it. (y) "lapis et lapis", Montanus, Vatablus, Piscator.
