Proverbs 20:10

20:10 Diverse weights and diverse measures ¹  –

the Lord abhors ²  both of them.

Ezekiel 45:10

45:10 You must use just balances, ³  a just dry measure (an ephah), ⁴  and a just liquid measure (a bath). ⁵ 

¹ tn The construction simply uses repetition to express different kinds of weights and measures: “a stone and a stone, an ephah and an ephah.”

² tn Heb “an abomination of the Lord.” The phrase features a subjective genitive: “the Lord abhors.”

³ sn Previous legislation regarding this practice may be found in Lev 19:35-36; Deut 25:13-16; Mic 6:10-12.

⁴ tn Heb “ephah,” which was 1/2 bushel.

⁵ tn Heb “bath,” a liquid measure, was 5 1/2 gallons.
