SEV Biblia, Chapter 20:10
¶ Doble pesa y doble medida, abominación son al SEÑOR ambas cosas.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 20:10
Verse 10. Divers weights and divers measures ] "A peise and a peise;" - Old MS. Bible: from the French pois, weight. Hebrew: "A stone and a stone; an ephah and an ephah." One the standard, the other below it; one to buy with, the other to sell by.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. Divers weights, [and] divers measures , etc.] Or, “a stone and a stone, and an ephah and an ephah” f558 . 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, ( Leviticus 19:35,36); 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 Proverbs 11:1 16:11).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10 - See the various deceits men use, of which the love of money is the root. The Lord will not bless what is thus gotten.
