Devarim 25:14 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 25:14

Thou shall not have in thine house divers, measures
Or, "an ephah and an ephah"; which was one sort of measure in use with the Jews, and held above a bushel; and is put for all others, which should be alike, and not

a great and a small;
one to buy with, and another to sell by, as before observed; which would be to cheat both seller and buyer in their turns; see ( Amos 8:5 ) .

Devarim 25:14 In-Context

12 Then thou shalt cut off her kaf (palm, hollow or flat of the hand), thine eye shall not pity her.
13 Thou shalt not have in thy bag differing weights, a gedolah and a ketannah.
14 Thou shalt not have in thine bais differing eifah (measures), a gedolah and a ketannah.
15 But thou shalt have a shleimah and tzedek weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have; that thy yamim may be lengthened in ha’adamah which Hashem Eloheicha giveth thee.
16 For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are a to’evah (abomination) unto Hashem Eloheicha.
