Leviticus 19:23-25
Holman Christian Standard Bible
23 “When you come into the land and plant any kind of tree for food, you are to consider the fruit forbidden.[a] It will be forbidden to you for three years; it is not to be eaten. 24 In the fourth year all its fruit must be consecrated as a praise offering(A) to the Lord. 25 But in the fifth year you may eat its fruit. In this way its yield will increase for you;(B) I am Yahweh your God.

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.
