Leviticus 19:25 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 19:25

And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof
And so in all succeeding years as long as the tree lasted and bore: that it may yield unto you the increase thereof;
may be so abundantly blessed, and produce so large an increase as to answer the three years' want of any fruit from it, and the dedication of the fruit of the fourth year to the Lord: I [am] the Lord your God;
who has promised this increase, is both able and faithful to make it good.

Leviticus 19:25 In-Context

23 And when you have come into the land, and have put in all sorts of fruit-trees, their fruit will be as if they had not had circumcision, and for three years their fruit may not be used for food.
24 And in the fourth year all the fruit will be holy as a praise-offering to the Lord.
25 But in the fifth year you may take the fruit and the increase of it for your food: I am the Lord your God.
26 Nothing may be used for food with its blood in it; you may not make use of strange arts, or go in search of signs and wonders.
27 The ends of the hair round your face and on your chin may not be cut off.
