Contextual Overview

¹³ Don't carry two sets of weights with you, one heavy and one light. ¹⁴ Don't have two different sets of measures in your house, one large and one small. ¹⁵ You must have true and honest weights and measures so that you will live a long time in the land the Lord your God is giving you. ¹⁶ The Lord your God hates anyone who is dishonest and uses dishonest measures. ¹⁷ Remember what the Amalekites did to you when you came out of Egypt. ¹⁸ When you were tired and worn out, they met you on the road and attacked all those lagging behind. They were not afraid of God. ¹⁹ When the Lord your God gives you rest from all the enemies around you in the land he is giving you as your own, you shall destroy any memory of the Amalekites on the earth. Do not forget!

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For all that do such things,.... Keep, different weights and measures, and make use of them to defraud their neighbours in buying and selling:

[and] all that do unrighteously; what is not just and right between man and man, in any other instance whatever:

[are] an abomination unto the Lord thy God; both they and their actions; he is a righteous God, and loves righteousness, and hates injustice of every kind.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Honesty in trade, as a duty to our neighbor, is emphatically enforced once more (compare Leviticus 19:35-36). It is noteworthy that John the Baptist puts the like duties in the forefront of his preaching (compare Luke 3:12 ff); and that “the prophets” (compare Ezekiel 45:10-12; Amos 8:5; Micah 6:10-11) and “the Psalms” Proverbs 16:11; Proverbs 20:10, Proverbs 20:23, not less than “the Law,” especially insist on them.

Deuteronomy 25:13

Divers weights - i. e. stones of unequal weights, the lighter to sell with, the heavier to buy with. Stones were used by the Jews instead of brass or lead for their weights, as less liable to lose anything through rust or wear.

Deuteronomy 25:17-19

It was not after the spirit or mission of the Law to aim at overcoming inveterate opposition by love and by attempts at conversion (contrast Luke 9:55-56). The law taught God’s hatred of sin and of rebellion against Him by enjoining the extinction of the obstinate sinner. The Amalekites were a kindred people Genesis 36:15-16; and living as they did in the peninsula of Sinai, they could not but have well known the mighty acts God had done for His people in Egypt and the Red Sea; yet they manifested from the first a persistent hostility to Israel (compare Exodus 17:8, and note; Numbers 14:45). They provoked therefore the sentence here pronounced, which was executed at last by Saul (1 Samuel 15:3 ff).
