Lev 11:44-45:
44 because I am your god Yahweh. You all must keep yourselves holy, and you’re a holy people because I’m holy.[ref] So don’t make yourselves ‘unclean’ with any swarming creatures that creep across the ground 45 because I am Yahweh, the one who brought you all out of Mitsrayim (Egypt) to be your god, and you must be holy because I am holy.

Lev 23:22:
22 When you all harvest your crops, don’t cut the stalks to the very edge of your field and don’t pick up stalks that drop on the ground—they must be left for the poor and for foreigners without land.[ref] I am your god, Yahweh.
Deu 24:19-22:
19 When you harvest your crops, if you forget a tied bundle in your field, don’t go back to get it—it’ll be for a resident foreigner or an orphan or widow to pick up,[ref] so that your god Yahweh can bless everything that you do. 20 When you beat your olive tree to make the fruit fall, don’t go back over it to pick the ones still on the tree. Those will be for the foreigner, or the orphan or widow. 21 Similarly, when you pick your grapes in the vineyard, don’t go back over the vines a second time. Those will be for the foreigner, or the orphan or widow. 22 Don’t forget that you were a slave in Mitsrayim—that’s why I’m instructing you to do those things.

6 You mustn’t deny justice to the poor in their lawsuits.[ref] 7 Stay far way from deceptive words. You mustn’t kill innocent or honest people because I won’t allow wicked people to be declared innocent. 8 You mustn’t accept bribes, because bribes stop people from being unbiased and they undermine the words of honest people.
Deu 16:19:
19 You mustn’t pervert justice or give favours. Don’t accept bribes because a bribe causes an otherwise wise person to ignore evil and misrepresents what innocent people say.[ref]

10 If there’s any Israeli or foreigner living among them, who eats blood, then I’ll oppose that person and remove them from the community[ref] 11 because the body’s life is in the blood. I myself have given you blood to make atonement for your lives at the altar, because it’s the blood that can atone for life.[ref] 12 That’s why I told the Israelis that none of them must eat blood—not even the foreigners that live among them may eat blood.
13 So any person (Israeli or foreigner living among them) who catches wild game (including birds) to eat, they must pour its blood out and cover it with soil 14 because the life of their bodies is the blood that’s in them. Again, that’s why I’ve told the Israelis not to eat the blood of any living thing because the life is in the blood, and anyone who eats it must be cut off from the community.
Deu 12:16,23:
16 However, don’t eat the blood[ref]—it must be poured out on the ground like water. 23 However, don’t eat the blood of any animal, because the blood is the life and you mustn’t eat the life with the meat.[ref]
15:23:
23 However, don’t eat the blood—it must be poured out on the ground like water.[ref]

That’s why I’m commanding you to do those things—to be considerate about helping other people who are in need.
27:19:
19 ‘Anyone who perverts justice for a foreigner or orphan or widow will be cursed.’[ref]
Then the people must reply, ‘Let it be so.’
Deu 25:13-16:
25:13 Don’t all cheat
13 Don’t keep two stone weights in your bag—a lighter one and a heavier one for when you’re buying and selling.[ref] 14 Don’t keep two measuring containers in your house—a smaller one and a larger one. 15 You must use exact stone weights and measuring containers so that your god Yahweh will prolong your time in the country that he’s giving you—16 he can’t stand people who cheat others.
Prv 20:10:
10 Differing weights and unequal measures—
