On the first day, take the fruit of fair trees, branches of palm-trees, and branches of thick trees and trees from the riverside, and be glad before the Lord for seven days.

"'When you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as forbidden. Three years shall they be forbidden to you. It shall not be eaten.

then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

and your strength will be spent in vain; for your land won't yield its increase, neither will the trees of the land yield their fruit.

"'All the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is Yahweh's. It is holy to Yahweh.

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.
