Young's Literal Translation
Thou hast not in thy house an ephah and an ephah, a great and a small.

Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Divers measures - Literally, an ephah and an ephah; one large, to buy thy neighbor's wares, another small, to sell thy own by. So there were knaves in all ages, and among all nations. See the notes on Exodus 16:16, and Leviticus 19:35 (note).

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

Thou shall not have in thine house divers, measures,.... Or, "an ephah and an ephah"; which was one sort of measure in use with the Jews, and held above a bushel; and is put for all others, which should be alike, and not

a great and a small; one to buy with, and another to sell by, as before observed; which would be to cheat both seller and buyer in their turns; see Amos 8:5.

Geneva Study Bible

Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.

divers measures [heb] an ephah and an ephah Aiphah waaiphah; for this was the cost common measure among the Israelites, by which all the others were made and adjusted. They are not only forbidden to use divers weights and measures, one large or heavy to buy with, and another small and light to sell with, but they were not even allowed to keep such in the house. It is observable also, that these too common but dishonest actions are branded as `an abomination to the Lord,' equally with idolatry, and other scandalous crimes.
