NETBible

Diverse weights and diverse measures¹ – the Lord abhors² both of them.

NET Notes

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

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

²sn Behind this proverb is the image of the dishonest merchant who has different sets of weights and measures which are used to cheat customers. The Lord hates dishonesty in business transactions.
