Leviticus 19:36 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Just balances, just weights. — That is, they were to be the same for buying as for selling.

Just ephah. — The ephah is the dry measure, and contained ten omers. (See Leviticus 14:10.) It is the same measure as the bath is for liquids.

A just hin. — The hin, which was a measure for liquids, contained as much as seventy-two hen’s eggs. These two measures are here used as representative, including all other measures.

Leviticus 19:36

36 Just balances, just weights,e a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
