What does Deuteronomy 25:14 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
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 ) .
