Leviticus 19:32-36

Context
19:32 You must stand up in the presence of the aged, honor the presence of an elder, and fear your God. I am the Lord. 19:33 When a foreigner resides 1  with you in your land, you must not oppress him. 19:34 The foreigner who resides with you must be to you like a native citizen among you; so 2  you must love him as yourself, because you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God. 19:35 You must not do injustice in the regulation of measures, whether of length, weight, or volume. 3  19:36 You must have honest balances, 4  honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin. 5  I am the Lord your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt.
