23. “ ‘And when you have come into the land and you plant any tree for food, you shall regard its fruit as unharvestable; for three years it shall be forbidden for you; it shall not be eaten.
24. But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, offerings of praise for Yahweh.
25. And in the fifth year you shall eat its fruit to increase its yield for you; I am Yahweh your God.
26. “ ‘You must not eat anything with the blood; you shall not practice divination, nor shall you interpret signs.
27. You shall not round off the corner hair of your head, and you shall not trim the corner of your beard.
28. And you shall not make a slash in your body for a dead person, nor shall you make on yourselves a tattoo’s mark; I am Yahweh.
29. “ ‘You shall not profane your daughter by making her a prostitute, lest the land be prostituted and the land fill up with depravity.
30. You shall keep my Sabbaths, and you shall revere my sanctuary; I am Yahweh.
31. “ ‘You shall not turn to the mediums and to the soothsayers; you shall not seek them to become unclean with them; I am Yahweh your God.
32. “ ‘Before old age you shall get up, and you shall show respect for an old person; and you shall revere your God; I am Yahweh.
33. “ ‘And when an alien dwells with you in your land, you shall not oppress him.
34. The alien who is dwelling with you shall be like a native among you, and you shall love him like yourself, because you were aliens in the land of Egypt; I am Yahweh your God.
35. “ ‘You shall not commit injustice in regulation, in measurement, in weight, or volume.
36. You must have honest balances, honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin; I am Yahweh your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt.
37. “ ‘Thus you shall keep all my statutes and all my regulations, and you shall do them; I am Yahweh.’ ”
