Leviticus 19:23-25
New Living Translation
23 “When you enter the land and plant fruit trees, leave the fruit unharvested for the first three years and consider it forbidden.[a] Do not eat it. 24 In the fourth year the entire crop must be consecrated to the Lord as a celebration of praise. 25 Finally, in the fifth year you may eat the fruit. If you follow this pattern, your harvest will increase. I am the Lord your God.

Leviticus 19:23-25
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.
