33 (A)When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not [a]do him wrong. 34 The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as the native among you, and (B)you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt; I am the Lord your God.

35 (C)You shall do no wrong in judgment, in measurement of weight, or volume. 36 You shall have (D)accurate balances, accurate weights, an accurate [b]ephah, and an accurate [c]hin; I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt. 37 So you shall keep all My statutes and all My ordinances, and do them; I am the Lord.’”
