23. ‘And when you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall reckon their fruit as uncircumcised. For three years it is as uncircumcised to you, it is not eaten.

24. ‘And in the fourth year all its fruit is set-apart – praises to יהוה.

25. ‘And in the fifth year you eat its fruit, so that it increases its yield to you. I am יהוה your Elohim.

26. ‘Do not eat meat with the blood. Do not practise divination or magic.

35. ‘Do no unrighteousness in right-ruling, in measurement of length, in weight, or in measuring liquids.
