Translation commentary on Deuteronomy 25:16

All who do such things, all who act dishonestly: the second clause refers to the same set of people as the first clause. The two may be brought together as follows: “all who do such dishonest things,” or “all who cheat or are dishonest.”

An abomination to the LORD your God: see 7.25; 18.12; 22.5.
