Context of Leviticus 19:24

22The kohen is to make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before Adonai for his sin that he committed, and the sin that he committed will be forgiven him. 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. Then in the fourth year all its fruit will be holy, for giving praise to Adonai. 25In 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.
