23 “ ‘In the future, when you enter your country, you will plant many kinds of trees for food. After planting a tree, wait three years before using its fruit.
24 In the fourth year the fruit from the tree will be the Lord’s, a holy offering of praise to him.
25 Then in the fifth year, you may eat the fruit from the tree. The tree will then produce more fruit for you. I am the Lord your God.
26 “ ‘You must not eat anything with the blood in it.“ ‘You must not try to tell the future by signs or black magic.
27 “ ‘You must not cut the hair on the sides of your heads or cut the edges of your beard.
28 You must not cut your body to show sadness for someone who died or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord.
29 “ ‘Do not dishonor your daughter by making her become a prostitute. If you do this, the country will be filled with all kinds of sin.
