Leviticus 19:22-24
Evangelical Heritage Version
22 The priest shall perform atonement on his behalf before the Lord with the ram for the restitution offering for his sin that he has committed, so that he may be forgiven for his sin that he has committed.
23 Also when you enter the land and plant any kind of fruit tree, you must cut off its budding fruit as if it were a foreskin. For three years you shall regard the tree and its fruit as uncircumcised. Its fruit shall not be eaten.[a] 24 In the fourth year, all its fruit shall be set aside as a holy offering of praise to the Lord.
