31 ‘Do not turn to [a](C)mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am Yahweh your God.

33 (E)And when a sojourner sojourns with you in your land, you shall not mistreat him. 34 The sojourner who sojourns with you shall be to you as the native among you, and (F)you shall love him as yourself, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt; I am Yahweh your God.

35 (G)You shall do no wrong in judgment, in measurement of weight, or in volume. 36 You shall have [c](H)just balances, [d]just weights, a [e]just [f]ephah, and a [g]just [h]hin; I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt. 37 You shall thus keep all My statutes and all My judgments and do them; I am Yahweh.’”
