Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Leviticus 19:25
And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I [am] the LORD your God.
That it may yield unto you the increase thereof; that God may be pleased to give his blessing, which alone can make them fruitful.

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.

(25) And in the fifth year.It was only in the fifth year that the owner was permitted to eat the fruits without redeeming them.
That it may yield unto you the increase thereof.That is, refraining from using the fruits during the first three years, and consecrating to the Lord the fruit of the fourth year in the sacrificial repast, they will realise that hereafter the tree will yield them abundant fruit. So far, therefore, from being losers by waiting till the fifth year, they will actually be gainers.

25. That it may yield the increase By the divine blessing and by plucking off the blossoms during the first three years. Says Michaelis: “The wisdom of this law is very striking. Every gardener will teach us not to let fruit-trees bear in their earliest years, but to pluck off the blossoms; and for this reason, they will thus thrive the better and bear more abundantly afterwards.”
