Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Wesley: Deu 25:13 - A great and a small

The great to buy with, the small for selling.

JFB: Deu 25:13-16 - 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 Pro 16:11; Pro 20:10).

Clarke: Deu 25:13 - Divers weights

Divers weights - אבן ואבן eben vaaben , a stone and a stone, because the weights were anciently made of stone, and some had two sets of stones, a light and a heavy. With the latter they bought their wares, by the former they sold them. In our own country this was once a common case; smooth, round, or oval stones were generally chosen by the simple country people for selling their wares, especially such as were sold in pounds and half pounds. And hence the term a stone weight, which is still in use, though lead or iron be the matter that is used as a counterpoise: but the name itself shows us that a stone of a certain weight was the material formerly used as a weight. See the notes on Lev 19:35, Lev 19:36.

TSK: Deu 25:13 - in thy bag // divers weights

in thy bag : Lev 19:35, Lev 19:36; Pro 11:1, Pro 16:11, Pro 20:10; Eze 45:10, Eze 45:11; Amo 8:5; Mic 6:11, Mic 6:12

divers weights : Heb. a stone and a stone, Aivenwaaiven ; because weights were anciently made of stone. Hence the expression, a stone weight, which is still in use, though the matter of which it is made be lead or iron, and the name itself shews us that a stone of a certain weight was formerly used.

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Deu 25:13 - great

The

great either to buy with, or openly to make show of; the

small for their private use in selling.

Gill: Deu 25:13 - Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights // a great and a small

Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights,.... Or, "a stone and a stone" ^y; it being usual, in those times and countries, to have their weights of stone, as it was formerly with us here; we still say, that such a commodity is worth so much per stone, a stone being of such a weight; now these were not to be different:

a great and a small; great weights, to buy with them, and small weights, to sell with them, as the Targum of Jonathan paraphrases it.
