Context of Leviticus 19:25

23‘When you enter the land and plant all kinds of trees for food, then you shall consider their fruit forbidden. For three years the fruit shall be forbidden to you; it shall not be eaten. 24In the fourth year all the fruit shall be holy, an offering of praise to the Lord. In the fifth year you may eat the fruit [of the trees], this is so that their yield may increase for you; I am the Lord your God. 26‘You shall not eat anything with the blood, nor practice divination [using omens or witchcraft] or soothsaying. 27You shall not trim and round off the side-growth of [the hair on] your heads, nor mar the edges of your beard.
