Reformed 1771 · An Exposition of the Old and New Testament, Proverbs 20:10

John Gill, on Prov 20:10

John Gill · 1697–1771
Prov 20:10 · Douay-Rheims
“Diverse weights and diverse measures, both are abominable before God.”
On this verse:
“Divers weights, and divers measures,.... Or, "a stone and a stone, and an ephah and an ephah" (d). Stones being in old time used in weighing, and an "ephah" was a common measure among the Jews; and these ought not to be different; one stone or weight for buying, and another for selling; and one measure to buy goods in with, and another to sell out with; the one too heavy, the other too light; the one too large, and the other too scanty; whereby justice is not done between man and man; whereas they ought to be just and equal, Lev 19:35; both of them are alike abomination to the Lord; who loves righteousness and hates iniquity, and requires of men to do justly; and abhors every act of injustice, and whatever is detrimental to men's properties; see Pro 11:1. (d) So Montanus, Schulteus.”
