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 of Canaan and plant any kind of fruit tree, consider the fruit ritually unclean for the first three years. During that time you must not eat it.
24 In the fourth year all the fruit shall be dedicated as an offering to show your gratitude to me, the Lord.
25 But in the fifth year you may eat the fruit. If you do all this, your trees will bear more fruit. I am the Lord your God.
26 "Do not eat any meat with blood still in it. Do not practice any kind of magic.
27 Do not cut the hair on the sides of your head or trim your beard
