Context of Deuteronomy 25:16

14Thou shalt not have in thy house divers ephahs, a great and a small. 15A perfect and just weight shalt thou have; a perfect and just ephah shalt thou have; that thy days may be prolonged in the land that Jehovah thy God giveth thee. For every one that doeth such things, every one that doeth unrighteousness, is an abomination to Jehovah thy God. 17Remember what Amalek did unto thee on the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; 18how he met thee on the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, all the feeble that lagged behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary, and he feared not God.

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 13-1613-16. Thou shalt not have ... divers weights--Weights were anciently made of stone and are frequently used still by Eastern shopkeepers and traders, who take them out of the bag and put them in the balance. The man who is not cheated by the trader and his bag of divers weights must be blessed with more acuteness than most of his fellows [Roberts]. (Compare Pr 16:11; 20:10).Read the comment
