Deuteronomy 25:13
in thy bag Lev 19:35-36; Prov 11:1, Prov 16:11, Prov 20:10; Ezek 45:10-11; Amos 8:5; Mic 6:11-12 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.
