Deuteronomy 25:16 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 25:16

For all that do such things
Keep, different weights and measures, and make use of them to defraud their neighbours in buying and selling:

[and] all that do unrighteously;
what is not just and right between man and man, in any other instance whatever:

[are] an abomination unto the Lord thy God;
both they and their actions; he is a righteous God, and loves righteousness, and hates injustice of every kind.

16 Everyone who uses dishonest weights and measures is disgusting to the LORD.
17 Remember what the Amalekites did to you on your trip from Egypt.
