23 ‎[1] [THEN YE SHALL COUNT THE FRUIT THEREOF AS FORBIDDEN.] The meaning of *ve-areltem et orlato* (then ye shall count as forbidden) is that the fruit is counted as a foreskin which is harmful and serves no purpose, such as the “foreskin” of the lips, the ear, and the foreskin of the penis.
‎[2] The meaning of *ve-areltem* (then ye shall count) is, you shall consider it as a foreskin. It is also beautifully explained in the Aramaic translation.
‎[3] SHALL IT BE AS FORBIDDEN
‎[4] UNTO YOU. This explains the meaning of *ve-areltem* (then ye shall count).
