You shall not round off the hair on your temples or mar the edges of your beard.
“You are the sons of the Lord your God. You shall not cut yourselves or make any baldness on your foreheads for the dead.
They shall not make bald patches on their heads, nor shave off the edges of their beards, nor make any cuts on their body.
They shall not shave their heads or let their locks grow long; they shall surely trim the hair of their heads.
“For every head is shaved and every beard cut off. On all the hands are gashes, and around the waist is sackcloth.
Both great and small shall die in this land. They shall not be buried, and no one shall lament for them or cut himself or make himself bald for them.
He has gone up to the temple, and to Dibon, to the high places to weep; over Nebo and over Medeba Moab wails. On every head is baldness; every beard is shorn;
They put on sackcloth, and horror covers them. Shame is on all faces, and baldness on all their heads.
