Leviticus 19:23

Context
The Produce of Fruit Trees

19:23 “‘When you enter the land and plant any fruit tree, 1  you must consider its fruit to be forbidden. 2  Three years it will be forbidden to you; 3  it must not be eaten.

1 tn Heb “tree of food”; KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV “trees for food.”

2 tn Heb “you shall circumcise its fruit [as] its foreskin,” taking the fruit to be that which is to be removed and, therefore, forbidden. Since the fruit is uncircumcised it is forbidden (see J. E. Hartley, Leviticus [WBC], 306, and esp. B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 131-32).

3 tn Heb “it shall be to you uncircumcised.”
