"When a person has sexual relations with a woman servant who is engaged to another man, but she has not been completely redeemed nor has her freedom been granted to her, there is to be an inquiry, but they won't be put to death, since she has not been freed.

"When you have entered the land and planted all sorts of trees for food, regard its fruit as uncircumcised for the first three years for you. It is not to be eaten.

During the fourth year, all its fruit is to be offered as a holy token of praise to the LORD.

"On the first day, take branches from impressive fruit trees, branches from palm trees, boughs from thick trees, and poplars from the brooks. Then you are to rejoice in the presence of the LORD your God for seven days.

Then the land will yield its fruit and you'll eat to your satisfaction and live securely.

then I'll send your rain in its season so that the land will yield its produce and the trees of the field will yield their fruit.

Your strength will be spent in vain, because your land won't yield its produce and the trees of the land won't yield their fruit.

"Any tithes of the land from grain grown on the land or from fruit grown on the trees belong to the LORD. They are sacred to the LORD.
