And if a man buys date palms to cut them down for their trunks, but he leaves them as they are without cutting them and later returns to find the palms bearing fruit, the fruit belongs to him-unless the owner of the palms was watering and maintaining them. And if a man plants crops on land without the owner's permission, and when the crops grow, the landowner comes and says, "You planted without my permission, so the crops belong to me, and I will compensate you for your expenses," then the crops belong to the planter, and the landowner is entitled to rent for his land.
