Exegesis
The negative Niphal imperfect lo yeakhel {לֹא יֵאָכֵל | lō yē-’ā-khel} ‘it shall not be eaten’ concludes the prohibition, emphasizing passive negation. The English renders the vav-consecutive prefixes as coordinating conjunctions and preserves the sequence of conditional, temporal, and prohibitive clauses.

And when you come into the land and plant every tree for food, you shall regard its fruit as uncircumcised ; for three years it shall be uncircumcised to you, and it shall not be eaten .
