23 “When you come into the land and plant any kind of tree for food, then you shall regard its fruit as forbidden.[a] Three years it shall be forbidden to you; it must not be eaten. 24 And in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, an offering of praise to the Lord. 25 But in the fifth year you may eat of its fruit, to increase its yield for you: I am the Lord your God.

26 (A)“You shall not eat any flesh with the blood in it. (B)You shall not interpret omens or (C)tell fortunes. 27 (D)You shall not round off the hair on your temples or mar the edges of your beard. 28 You shall not make any (E)cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the Lord.
