23 When you enter the land and plant any fruit tree, you must consider its fruit off-limits. For three years it will be off-limits to you; it must not be eaten.
24 In the fourth year, all of the tree’s fruit will be holy, a celebration for the Lord.
25 In the fifth year you can eat the fruit. This is so as to increase its produce for you; I am the Lord your God.
26 You must not eat anything with its blood. You must not participate in divination or fortune-telling.
27 You must not cut off the hair on your forehead or clip the ends of your beard.
28 Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put marks on yourselves; I am the Lord.
