²³ “When you come into the land and have planted all kinds of trees for food, you are to consider their fruit as forbidden. Three years it will be forbidden to you. It is not to be eaten. ²⁴ Then in the fourth year all its fruit will be holy, for giving praise to Adonai. ²⁵ In the fifth year you may eat its fruit. So it will yield its increase to you. I am Adonai your God.

²⁶ “You are not to eat any meat with the blood still in it, nor are you to use enchantments, or practice sorcery.

²⁷ “You are not to round off the hair on the sides of your heads, nor are you to mar the edge of your beard. ²⁸ You are not to make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead or make any tattoo marks upon yourself. I am Adonai.

²⁹ “Do not defile your daughter, to make her a prostitute, so that the land does not fall into prostitution, and become full of wickedness.

³⁰ “You are to keep My Shabbatot, and reverence My Sanctuary. I am Adonai.

³¹ “Do not turn to those who are mediums or to soothsayers. Do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am Adonai your God.

³² “You are to rise up in the presence of the gray-haired and honor the presence of the elderly. So you will fear your God. I am Adonai.
