³³‘And when a sojourner sojourneth with thee in your land, thou dost not oppress him; ³⁴as a native among you is the sojourner to you who is sojourning with you, and thou hast had love to him as to thyself, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt; I am Jehovah your God.

³⁵‘Ye do not do perversity in judgment, in mete-yard, in weight, or in liquid measure; ³⁶righteous balances, righteous weights, a righteous ephah, and a righteous hin ye have; I am Jehovah your God, who hath brought you out from the land of Egypt; ³⁷and ye have observed all my statutes, and all my judgments, and have done them; I am Jehovah.’
