Context of Leviticus 19:24

22The priest will then purify him before the Lord with the ram of the guilt offering, and the man’s sin will be forgiven. 23“When you enter the land and plant fruit trees, leave the fruit unharvested for the first three years and consider it forbidden. Do not eat it. In the fourth year the entire crop must be consecrated to the Lord as a celebration of praise. 25Finally, in the fifth year you may eat the fruit. If you follow this pattern, your harvest will increase. I am the Lord your God. 26“Do not eat meat that has not been drained of its blood. “Do not practice fortune-telling or witchcraft.
