Leviticus 19:22-24
New Catholic Bible
22 The priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord, for the sin he has committed, with the ram of the guilt offering. He shall be forgiven for the sin that he has committed.
23 “When you come into the land and have planted all kinds of trees, you shall leave its fruit unharvested[a] for three years. It is not to be eaten. 24 But the fourth year all of its fruit will be holy, a praise offering to the Lord.
