They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
No deben rasurarse calvas en sus cabezas, ni recortar los bordes de sus barbas, ni hacerse cortes en su piel.
Los sacerdotes no pueden alterar su apariencia corporal de ciertas maneras como señal de luto o duelo.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In ancient Israel, priests were held to high standards of holiness because they served as intermediaries between God and the people in the tabernacle. This verse specifically prohibited practices like shaving parts of the head or beard and making cuts in the flesh, which were common in pagan mourning rituals among surrounding cultures, to ensure the priests remained set apart and pure. These rules emphasized God's call for His people to avoid idolatry and maintain spiritual distinction.
