23. When you come into the land and plant any fruit tree there, first look upon its fruit as if it were uncircumcised. For three years, it shall be uncircumcised for you; it may not be eaten.
24. In the fourth year, however, all of its fruit shall be dedicated to the Lord in joyous celebration.
25. Not until the fifth year may you eat its fruit, to increase the yield for you. I, the Lord, am your God.
26. Do not eat anything with the blood still in it. Do not recite charms or practice soothsaying.
27. Do not clip your hair at the temples, nor spoil the edges of your beard.
28. Do not lacerate your bodies for the dead, and do not tattoo yourselves. I am the Lord.
29. You shall not degrade your daughter by making a prostitute of her; otherwise the land will prostitute itself and become full of lewdness.
30. Keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary. I am the Lord.
31. Do not turn to ghosts or consult spirits, by which you will be defiled. I, the Lord, am your God.
32. Stand up in the presence of the aged, show respect for the old, and fear your God. I am the Lord.
33. When an alien resides with you in your land, do not mistreat such a one.
