Deuteronomy 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 ) .

Deuteronomy 25:14 In-Context

12 you must cut off her hand. Show no mercy.
13 Don't have two different types of money weights in your bag, a heavy one and a light one.
14 Don't have two different types of ephahs in your house, a large one and a small one.
15 Instead, you must have only one weight, complete and correct, and only one ephah, also complete and correct, so that your life might be long in the fertile land the LORD your God is giving you.
16 What's more, all who do such things, all who do business dishonestly, are detestable to the LORD your God.
