22In the LORD's presence the priest will use them to make peace with the LORD for this sin. The man will be forgiven for this sin. 23"When you come into the land and plant all kinds of fruit trees, you must not eat the fruit for [the first] three years. 24In the fourth year all the fruit will be a holy offering of praise to the LORD. 25In the fifth year you may eat the fruit. Do this to make the trees produce more for you. I am the LORD your God. 26"Never eat any meat with blood still in it. "Never cast evil spells, and never consult fortunetellers. 27"Never shave the hair on your foreheads, and never cut the edges of your beard. 28Never slash your body to mourn the dead, and never get a tattoo. I am the LORD. 29"Never dishonor your daughter by making her a prostitute, or the country will turn to prostitution and be filled with people who are perverted. 30"Observe my days of worship and respect my holy tent. I am the LORD. 31"Don't turn to psychics or mediums to get help. That will make you unclean. I am the LORD your God. 32"Show respect to the elderly, and honor older people. In this way you show respect for your God. I am the LORD. 33"Never mistreat a foreigner living in your land. 34Foreigners living among you will be like your own people. Love them as you love yourself, because you were foreigners living in Egypt. I am the LORD your God. 35"Don't be corrupt when administering justice concerning length, weight, or measuring liquid. 36Use honest scales, honest weights, and honest measures. I am the LORD your God who brought you out of Egypt. 37"Obey all my laws and all my rules, and live by them. I am the LORD."
