Leviticus 19:23

23 When you come into the land and plant all kinds of trees for food, then you shall regard their fruit as forbidden; three years it shall be forbidden to you, it must not be eaten.

Leviticus 19:23 In-Context

21 but he shall bring a guilt offering for himself to the Lord, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, a ram as guilt offering.
22 And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of guilt offering before the Lord for his sin that he committed; and the sin he committed shall be forgiven him.
23 When you come into the land and plant all kinds of trees for food, then you shall regard their fruit as forbidden; three years it shall be forbidden to you, it must not be eaten.
24 In the fourth year all their fruit shall be set apart for rejoicing in the Lord.
25 But in the fifth year you may eat of their fruit, that their yield may be increased for you: I am the Lord your God.
