24 In the fourth year all the fruit shall be dedicated as an offering to show your gratitude to me, the Lord.
25 But in the fifth year you may eat the fruit. If you do all this, your trees will bear more fruit. I am the Lord your God.
26 “Do not eat any meat with blood still in it. Do not practise any kind of magic.
27 Do not cut the hair on the sides of your head or trim your beard
28 or tattoo yourselves or cut gashes in your body to mourn for the dead. I am the Lord.
29 “Do not disgrace your daughters by making them temple prostitutes; if you do, you will turn to other gods and the land will be full of immorality.
30 Keep the Sabbath, and honour the place where I am worshipped. I am the Lord.
