Bible Commentary for Deuteronomy 25:15

Wesley's Notes for Deuteronomy 25:15


25:13 A great and a small - The great to buy with, the small for selling.

25:17 Out of Egypt - Which circumstance greatly aggravates their sin, that they should do thus to a people, who had been long exercised with sore afflictions, to whom pity was due by the laws of nature and humanity, and for whose rescue God had in so glorious a manner appeared, which they could not be ignorant of. So this was barbarousness to Israel, and setting the great Jehovah at defiance.
