Imamat 19:33-36

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.

[19:33]  ¹ tn Heb “And when a sojourner sojourns.”

[19:34]  ² tn Heb “and.” The Hebrew conjunction ו (vav, “and”) can be considered to have resultative force here.

[19:35]  ³ tn That is, liquid capacity (HALOT 640 s.v. מְשׂוּרָה). Cf. ASV, NIV, NRSV, TEV “quantity”; NAB, NASB “capacity.”

[19:36]  ⁴ tn Heb “balances of righteousness,” and so throughout this sentence.

[19:36]  ⁵ sn An ephah is a dry measure which measures about four gallons, or perhaps one third of a bushel, while a hin is a liquid measure of about 3.6 liters (= approximately 1 quart).
