Leviticus 19:23-28

Common English Bible

²³ When you enter the land and plant any fruit tree, you must consider its fruit off-limits.^[a] For three years it will be off-limits to you;^[b] 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^[c] or put marks on^[d] yourselves; I am the Lord.
