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 "When you come into the land and plant any kind of tree for food, you are to consider the fruit forbidden. It will be forbidden to you for three years; it is not to be eaten.

24 In the fourth year all its fruit must be consecrated as a praise offering to the Lord.

25 But in the fifth year you may eat its fruit. In this way its yield will increase for you; I am the Lord your God.

26 "You are not to eat [anything] with blood [in it]. You are not to practice divination or sorcery.

27 You are not to cut off the hair at the sides of your head or mar the edge of your beard.
