But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORDwithal.
Fruit from a newly planted tree became holy in its fourth year. That holiness meant it was set apart to praise the Lord. The chapter containing this rule was spoken less than one year after Israel left Egypt and before they left Sinai. It therefore belongs to the law given at Sinai and is not a new law given forty years later.
