“You shall stand up before the gray head and honor the face of an old man, and you shall fear your God: I am the LORD.
“When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
“You shall do no wrong in judgment, in measures of length or weight or quantity. You shall have just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin: I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt. And you shall observe all my statutes and all my rules, and do them: I am the LORD.” (Leviticus 19:32-37 ESV)
Honor your elders, treat those who are not natural born of your country as if they were when they are in your borders, and be honest in your business dealings…
How many of us say we do this? All of the talk about border patrols and keeping those people out of our country here in the USA. We worry about the people coming over our southern border, because we don’t want them using our tax money. We need to have those benefits for our self. But yet wasn’t all we have given to us by God, and we need to manage that so that all of His children are cared for? If we ignore this passage of Leviticus 19 then we might want to rethink the whole chapter or book. We can not pick and chose the verse we want to uphold, it has to be all or none… We have to accept the sojourner as one of our own, that is what God tells us.
Honor your elders and do not cheat in weights and measurement, in your business dealings be that at the office or at home. Do not cheat anyone.
Basically Play nice! Share your things and treat others with honesty and respect.
