35 Do not any unjust thing in judgment, in rule, in weight, or in measure.
“‘Mũtikahũthagĩre ithimi itarĩ cia kĩhooto rĩrĩa mũgũthima ũraihu, kana ũritũ, kana ũingĩ.
36 Let the balance be just and the weights equal, the bushel just, and the sextary equal. I am the Lord your God, that brought you out of the land of Egypt.
