Holman Christian Standard Bible
30 You must keep My Sabbaths and revere My sanctuary;(A) I am Yahweh.
31 “Do not turn to mediums[a](B) or consult spiritists,[b](C) or you will be defiled by them; I am Yahweh your God.
32 “You are to rise in the presence of the elderly and honor the old.(D) Fear your God; I am Yahweh.
33 “When a foreigner lives with you in your land, you must not oppress(E) him. 34 You must regard the foreigner who lives with you as the native-born among you. You are to love him as yourself,(F) for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt;(G) I am Yahweh your God.
35 “You must not be unfair(H) in measurements of length, weight, or volume. 36 You are to have honest balances,(I) honest weights, an honest dry measure,[c] and an honest liquid measure;[d](J) I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt. 37 You must keep all My statutes and all My ordinances and do them; I am Yahweh.”
