Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
Ye shall do no unrighteousness - Ye shall not act contrary to the strictest justice in any case, and especially in the four following, which properly understood, comprise all that can occur between a man and his fellow.
1.Judgment in all cases that come before the civil magistrate; he is to judge and decide according to the law.
2.Mete-Yard, bammiddah , in measures of length and surface, such as the reed, cubit, foot, span, hand' s breadth, among the Jews; or ell, yard, foot, and inch, among us.
3.Weight, bammishkal , in any thing that is weighed, the weights being all according to the standards kept for the purpose of trying the rest in the sanctuary, as appears from Exodus 30:13; I Chronicles 23:29; these weights were the talent, shekel, barleycorn, etc.
4.Measure, bammesurah , from which we derive our term. This refers to all measures of capacity, such as the homer, ephah, seah, hin, omer, kab, and log. See all these explained at Exodus 16:16 (note).
