Deuteronomy 25:13 (King James Version)
Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.
- in thy bag
- Leviticus 19:35 Leviticus 19:36 ; Proverbs 11:1 ; 16:11 20:10 Ezekiel 45:10 Ezekiel 45:11 ; Amos 8:5
- Micah 6:11 Micah 6:12
- divers weights
- Hebrew a stone and a stone.
- {Aivenwaiven;} because weights were anciently made of stone. Hence the expression, a stone weight, which is still in use, though the matter of which it is made be lead or iron, and the name itself shews us that a stone of a certain weight was formerly used.
