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.
In context — Leviticus 19:23
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 .
