Leviticus 19:23-27 Common English Bible (CEB)

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.
