Leviticus 19:30-37
1599 Geneva Bible
30 ¶ Ye shall keep my Sabbaths, and reverence my Sanctuary: I am the Lord.
31 ¶ Ye shall not regard them that work with spirits, (A)neither Soothsayers: ye shall not seek to them to be defiled by them, I am the Lord your God.
32 ¶ Thou shalt [a]rise up before the hoary head, and honor the person of the old man, and dread thy God: I am the Lord.
33 ¶ And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not [b]vex him.
34 (B)But the stranger that dwelleth with you, shall be as one of yourselves, and thou shalt love him as thyself: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
35 ¶ Ye shall not do unjustly in judgment, in [c]line, in weight, or in measure.
36 (C)You shall have just balances, true weights, a true [d]Ephah, and a true Hin, I am the Lord your God, which have brought you out of the land of Egypt.
37 Therefore shall ye observe all mine ordinances, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the Lord.
