not make baldness
|
|
This custom is also called rounding the corners of the head, (Lev 19:27,) and seems to have been performed in honour of some idol. Lev 10:6; Lev 19:27,28; Deu 14:1; Isa 15:2; Isa 22:12; Jer 16:6; Jer 48:37; Eze 44:20; Amo 8:10; Mic 1:16 |

the corner
|
|
The Hebrew peath zakon , may denote the whiskers; as the Syriac phatho signifies. These are by the Arabs, according to Niebuhr, still cut entirely off, or worn quite short; and hence they are called by Jeremiah, [qtswtsy p'h] those with cropped whiskers. Perhaps some superstition, of which we are ignorant, was connected with this; but whether or not, it was the object of Moses to keep the Israelites distinct from other nations. |
