Devarim 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.

Devarim 25:16 In-Context

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.
17 Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Mitzrayim;
18 How he met thee by the way, and struck your rear ranks, even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not Elohim.
