Footnotes
- 1 Heb “an abomination of the Lord.” The term יְהוָה (yéhvah, “the Lord”) is a subjective genitive.
- 2 Heb “scales of deception.” The genitive is attributive: “deceptive scales.” This refers to dishonesty in the market where silver was weighed in the scales. God condemns dishonest business practices (Deut 25:13–16; Lev 19:35–36), as did the ancient Near East ( 388, 423).
- 3 Heb “a perfect stone.” Stones were used for measuring amounts of silver on the scales; here the stone that pleases the Lord is whole, complete, perfect (from שָׁלֵם, shalem). It was one that would give an honest, accurate measurement.
