Ye shall have just balances, &c.] That is, take care that true weights and just measures be used in trade and commerce, that so one man may not impose upon and cheat another; which is the business of the civil magistrate to look after: and a just ephah, and a just bath; and not make the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit, as some did, (<300805>Amos 8:5) the “ephah” was a measure for dry things, as wheat, barley, &c. and the “bath” for liquid things, as wine oil, &c. as Jarchi and Kimchi observe; (see <031935>Leviticus 19:35,36).
