Only the trees which you know will not be trees for food, you shall destroy and cut them down; and you shall build bulwarks against the city that makes war with you, until it is subdued.

When you shall besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, you shall not destroy the trees thereof by wielding an ax against them: for you may eat of them, and you shall not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man's life) to employ them in the siege:

And houses full of all good things, which you filled not, and wells dug, which you dug not, vineyards and olive trees, which you planted not; when you shall have eaten and be full;

A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive oil, and honey;

You shall have olive trees throughout all your borders, but you shall not anoint yourself with the oil; for your olives shall drop off.

All your trees and fruit of your land shall the locust consume.

You shall not make a post idol of any trees near unto the altar of the LORD your God, which you shall make you.

And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.
