33 ‘And aif a stranger dwells with you in your land, you shall not mistreat him.
34 aThe stranger who dwells among you shall be to you as1 one born among you, and byou shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
35 ‘You shall do no injustice in judgment, in measurement of length, weight, or volume.
36 You shall have ahonest scales, honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin: I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
37 a‘Therefore you shall observe all My statutes and all My judgments, and perform them: I am the Lord.’ ”

Leviticus 19:35-36
For the purpose of this sermon, it is not important to know exactly what unit of measurement an “ephah” and a “hin” were. The point is clear enough that once defined, they could not be changed by individuals in the marketplace.
Notice that God immediately provides the reason for this commandment, that He is the One who brought them out of Egyptian bondage. He is the sovereign master of the universe. He is the deliverer of Israel. As He brought the Israelites out of the bondage of Egypt, similarly, but in a spiritual way, He has brought us out of the bondage of sin.
