33 “When a foreigner lives with you in your land, you must not oppress(A) him. 34 You must regard the foreigner who lives with you as the native-born among you. You are to love him as yourself,(B) for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt;(C) I am Yahweh your God.

35 “You must not be unfair(D) in measurements of length, weight, or volume. 36 You are to have honest balances,(E) honest weights, an honest dry measure,[a] and an honest liquid measure;[b](F) 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.”
